The NVIDIA binary graphics driver from NVIDIA Corporation provides the
|
|
kernel module and the GL modules for graphic acceleration on the NVIDIA
|
|
based graphic cards.

<p>
|
|
Rapid7 reported a boundary error in the NVIDIA binary graphics driver
|
|
that leads to a buffer overflow in the accelerated rendering
|
|
functionality.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An X client could trigger the buffer overflow with a maliciously
|
|
crafted series of glyphs. A remote attacker could also entice a user to
|
|
open a specially crafted web page, document or X client that will
|
|
trigger the buffer overflow. This could result in the execution of
|
|
arbitrary code with root privileges or at least in the crash of the X
|
|
server.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Disable the accelerated rendering functionality in the Device section
|
|
of xorg.conf :
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>Option "RenderAccel" "false"</code>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
NVIDIA binary graphics driver users should upgrade to the latest
|
|
version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-1.0.8776"</code>
