Action Type Old Value New Value Changed Description An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in the Nvidia D3D10 Driver 22.21.13.8607. A specially crafted pixel shader can cause a stack overflow exception, resulting in at least denial of service. An attacker can provide a specially crafted shader file (either in binary or text form) to trigger this vulnerability. This vulnerability can be triggered from a VMware guest, and will affect a VMware host (leading to the vmware-vmx.exe process to crash on the host). NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the DirectX and OpenGL Usermode drivers where a specially crafted pixel shader can cause infinite recursion leading to denial of service. -
