Security vulnerabilities have been discovered in all Nvidia GeForce graphics cards.
Update your drivers ASAP!

If you have an Nvidia GeForce graphics card, you need to download the latest driver updates now.

Graphics card manufacturer Nvidia has sent out a warning to all GeForce GPU owners. According to the Nvidia security bulletin , several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the company's drivers and other software that require urgent attention. In total, eight vulnerabilities are listed, all of which are rated "High" in severity. If you have an Nvidia GeForce GPU, you need to act now.

Scope of the vulnerabilities .

According to Nvidia, attackers can gain access to your system by exploiting one of the vulnerabilities. With this level of access, hackers can not only infiltrate and execute malicious code on your PC, but also read and steal personal data.

The vulnerabilities affect GeForce software, as well as Nvidia RTX, Quadro, NVS, and Tesla — on both Windows and Linux operating systems.

Nvidia has not specified whether any of these vulnerabilities have already been used in real-world attacks. However, since all GeForce graphics cards are affected, it is likely widespread.

Urgent Actions for GeForce Users

To fix these security vulnerabilities, you will need the latest Nvidia GeForce drivers version 566.03 for Windows and versions 565.57.01, 550.127.05, and 535.216.01 for Linux. Nvidia also notes that some distributors are providing the necessary security updates in versions 565.92, 561.03, 556.35, and 553.05.

For Nvidia RTX, Quadro and NVS, the updates 566.03, 553.24 and 538.95 will address security issues.

You can find the relevant updates using the Nvidia manual driver search tool and download them directly. The latest drivers are also available in the Nvidia app and GeForce Experience.
