CVE-2015-1170

Publication date 6 March 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

High

Why this priority?

The NVIDIA Display Driver R304 before 309.08, R340 before 341.44, R343 before 345.20, and R346 before 347.52 does not properly validate local client impersonation levels when performing a "kernel administrator check," which allows local users to gain administrator privileges via unspecified API calls.
