NVIDIA published a security bulletin for its GPU Display Driver software and pushed out updated drivers to fix the problems. If you use NVIDIA GPUs, grab the patched driver from the NVIDIA driver download page as soon as you can.
The bulletin describes multiple issues in the Display Driver stack. On Windows, GeForce drivers show bugs in kernel-mode handling and resource management — things like improper GPU resource access, time-of-check/time-of-use (TOCTOU) race conditions, and driver lock leaks. Exploits could result in anything from service interruption to code execution, depending on the CVE in question (i.e., impact varies). NVIDIA flags the most serious Windows/Linux driver problems as \"High\" severity, with CVSS scores up to 7.8. The patched R595 branch for GeForce on Windows is version 596.36 or later.
For GeForce on Windows, NVIDIA points to 596.36 as the R595 update that contains the fixes. Note: the public GeForce Game Ready driver released on May 12 (v596.49) is already newer, so gamers who update regularly are likely covered. If you’re on an older branch, check NVIDIA’s guidance and install the correct fixed build for your setup.
The advisory isn’t limited to GeForce; it applies to Windows and Linux drivers across several product lines (e.g., RTX, Quadro, NVS, Tesla), plus vGPU Software and Cloud Gaming Software. FYI: if any of those are part of your environment, plan updates accordingly.
