Security advisory November 7, 2019

In two security advisorie about the GeForce Experience driver and the GPU driver, the manufacturer warns of a number of vulnerabilities. These allow local escalation of privileges, but a remote attack is not possible. 

GeForce Experience Driver Vulnerabilities

Below is a description of the vulnerabilities of the GeForce Experience driver:

Description Base Score
CVE‑2019‑5701 NVIDIA GeForce Experience contains a vulnerability when GameStream is enabled in which an attacker with local system access can load the Intel graphics driver DLLs without validating the path or signature (also known as a binary planting or DLL preloading attack), which may lead to denial of service, information disclosure or escalation of privileges through code execution. AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A 7.8
CVE‑2019‑5689 NVIDIA GeForce Experience contains a vulnerability in the Downloader component in which a user with local system access can craft input that may allow malicious files to be downloaded and saved.This behavior may lead to code execution, denial of service, or information disclosure. AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H 6.7
CVE‑2019‑5695 NVIDIA GeForce Experience contains a vulnerability in the local service provider component in which an attacker with local system and privileged access can incorrectly loads Windows system DLLs without validating the path or signature (also known as a binary planting or DLL preloading attack), which may lead to denial of service or information disclosure through code execution. AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H 6.5

Affected are all GeForce Experience driver packages for Windows prior to the version
3.20.1 The update to version 3.20.1 fixes these vulnerabilities.

CVE Description Base Score
CVE‑2019‑5690 NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape in which the size of an input buffer is not validated, which may lead to denial of service or escalation of privileges.
AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
7.8
CVE‑2019‑5691 NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape in which a NULL pointer is dereferenced, which may lead to denial of service or escalation of privileges. AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H 7.8
CVE‑2019‑5692 NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape in which the product uses untrusted input when calculating or using an array index, which may lead to escalation of privileges or denial of service.  AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H 7.1
CVE‑2019‑5693 NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) in which the program accesses or uses a pointer that has not been initialized, which may lead to denial of service. AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H 6.5
CVE‑2019‑5694 NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in NVIDIA Control Panel in which it incorrectly loads Windows system DLLs without validating the path or signature (also known as a binary planting or DLL preloading attack), which may lead to denial of service or information disclosure through code execution. The attacker requires local system access. AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H 6.5
CVE‑2019‑5695 NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the local service provider component in which an attacker with local system and privileged access can incorrectly load Windows system DLLs without validating the path or signature (also known as a binary planting or DLL preloading attack), which may lead to denial of service or information disclosure through code execution. AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H 6.5
CVE‑2019‑5696 NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in which the provision of an incorrectly sized buffer by a guest VM leads to GPU out-of-bound access, which may lead to a denial of service.
AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
5.5
CVE‑2019‑5697 NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in which it may grant a guest access to memory that it does not own, which may lead to information disclosure or denial of service.
AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L
5.3
CVE‑2019‑5698 NVIDIA Virtual GPU Manager contains a vulnerability in the vGPU plugin, in which an input index value is incorrectly validated, which may lead to denial of service. AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H 5.1
