For the NVIDIA Quadro, NVS, and GeForce products, NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver R340 before 342.00 and R375 before 375.63 contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape ID 0x70000d5 where a value passed from an user to the driver is used without validation as the index to an internal array, leading to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A flaw in older NVIDIA Windows GPU drivers can let local user-controlled input crash the system or possibly gain higher privileges. It affects Quadro, NVS, and GeForce driver branches R340 before 342.00 and R375 before 375.63. This is mainly an endpoint and workstation risk, not a confirmed internet-facing remote attack. Windows systems running affected NVIDIA Quadro, NVS, or GeForce display drivers are the relevant exposure. Highest concern is shared workstations, VDI, GPU-enabled lab systems, and endpoints where untrusted users or code can run locally. Prioritize remediation where affected drivers run on shared, high-value, or administrator-used Windows systems. Business urgency is elevated by kernel-mode privilege impact and public exploit reference, but active exploitation is not established in the supplied sources. Mitigation focus: Upgrade R340 drivers to 342.00 or later per vendor guidance.; Upgrade R375 drivers to 375.63 or later per vendor guidance.; Use Lenovo or NVIDIA-approved driver packages for OEM-managed systems..
