NVIDIA this week released software security updates to address multiple vulnerabilities in GPU Display Driver and GeForce Experience.

A total of 8 security flaws were patched in NVIDIA GPU Display Driver. These issues could lead to denial of service, escalation of privileges, or information disclosure, the company explains.

The most important of these bugs are two vulnerabilities in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape. Tracked as CVE‑2019‑5690 and CVE‑2019‑5691 and having a CVSS score of 7.8, both of these issues could lead to denial of service or escalation of privileges.
