Several flaws found in Nvidia s graphics drivers could enable denial of service, code execution and other malicious attacks. The most severe flaw exists in the control panel component of the graphics driver, which is a utility program helping users monitor and adjust the settings of their graphics adapter. Nvidia last year issued fixes for high-severity flaws in two popular gaming products, including its graphics driver for Windows and GeForce Experience. The flaws could be exploited to launch an array of malicious attacks from DoS to escalation of privileges.
