Flaw in Nvidia Driver Allows for Remote Injection of Unwanted Super-User

A vulnerability in the NVIDIA Display Driver Service may be exploited to add a new user on your computer. The flaw can be exploited by any logged on user or remote user in a domain context (i.e. a user on a corporate network) The entire process is documented in the proof-of-concept code released along with the announcement. Earlier in August, the closed-source Nvidia driver for Linux was found to be vulnerable to a bug that granted root access to any limited user on the machine.”]
