Details

Le Wu discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers did not properly perform
input validation in some situations. A local user could use this to cause a
denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-31607)

Tal Lossos discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers incorrectly handled
certain memory operations, leading to a null-pointer dereference. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-31615)

Artem S. Tashkinov discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers Dynamic
Boost D-Bus component did not properly restrict access to its endpoint.
When enabled in non-default configurations, a local attacker could use this
to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2022-31608)
