Description
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the open-source kernel module event delivery path where an unprivileged local user could cause a use-after-free through a race between asynchronous event delivery and file close. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, denial of service, information disclosure, and data tampering.
