All versions of NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contain a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape where a value passed from a user to the driver is used without validation as the size input to memcpy(), causing a buffer overflow, leading to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges.
