Technical details
The vulnerability is a memory leak in the kernel mode layer of the NVIDIA GPU display driver triggered by unprivileged users in error handling code paths. Exploitation requires local access to the affected system; repeated triggering of error conditions allows exhaustion of kernel memory leading to denial of service. A fix is expected from NVIDIA through driver updates.
