| News Hound  |  Linux-Gamers :. NVIDIA Linux/BSD/Solaris Drivers Local Root exploit SecurityDot.net has reported that the binary NVIDIA Linux/BSD/Solaris Drivers are vulnerable to a local bufferflow with which an attacker can gain root access on your machine. The complete 1.0-8xxx serie is affected. The issue is fixed in the unstable 1.0-9xxx tree. For protecting your machine until a new patched driver is released securitydot.net recommends to better use the "nv" driver instead of the "nvidia" driver. You can change the used driver within your Xorg configfile (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) The exploit code can be found here Link To Original Article | |
