The vulnerabilities can be exploited for denial of service attacks, increase system rights, or obtain information from the machine.

Vulnerability CVE‑2019‑5676 is the result of the driver not loading DLL files correctly. Misuse of this vulnerability can also lead to an increase in rights on attacked systems. Less serious is CVE-2019-5677, which deals with potential misuse when reading from the memory buffer.

The vulnerabilities are addressed in the latest drivers available for GeForce, Quadro and Tesla GPU cards. These can be downloaded via GeForce Experience or via the download page.
