GCVE-110-MAGEIA-2015-407
Advisory Published
Vulnetix · Advisory published October 25, 2015
A vulnerability has been found in the nvidia proprietary driver that could be used to allow a local, non-privileged user to corrupt kernel memory. This could be used to gain local root privileges. A local user can issue a specially crafted IOCTL to write a 32-bit integer value stored in the kernel driver to a user-specified memory location, potentially in the kernel address space. The user has a limited ability to influence the value of the integer that is written. (CVE-2015-5950)
