Driver Update: GeForce Game Ready Driver 391.35 WHQL

Nvidia has released new stable GeForce drivers. The drivers are version number 391.35 WHQL and are suitable for Windows 7 and higher, with separate downloads as usual for 32bit and 64bit environments. The drivers can be used on all GeForce 400 series and higher cards. The new drivers include optimizations for the game Far Cry 5 and should also fix some security vulnerabilities. The changelog also shows some bug fixes and a handful of problems that are already known, but for which there is no solution yet. The complete release notes are below:

NVIDIA Software Security Updates

• CVE-2018-6247: Vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape where a NULL pointer dereference may lead to Denial of Service or Escalation of Privileges.
• CVE-2018-6248: Vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler for DxgkDdiEscape where the software uses a sequential operation to read or write a buffer, but it uses an incorrect length value that causes it to access memory that is outside of the bounds of the buffer which may lead to denial of service or possible escalation of privileges.
• CVE-2018-6249: Vulnerability in kernel mode layer handler where a NULL pointer dereference may lead to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.
• CVE-2018-6250: Vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape where a NULL pointer dereference occurs which may lead to denial of service or possible escalation of privileges.
• CVE-2018-6251: Vulnerability in Directx 10 Usermode driver, where specially crafted pixel shader can cause writing to unallocated memory which may lead to denial of service or potential code execution.
• CVE-2018-6252: Vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler for DxgkDdiEscape where the software allows an actor access to restricted functionality that is unnecessary to production usage, and which may result in denial of service.
• CVE-2018-6253: Vulnerability in DirectX and OpenGL Usermode drivers where specially crafted pixel shader can cause infinite recursion which may lead to denial of service.

Fixed Issues in this Release
