Detail
| A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 14.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the NVIDIA graphics drivers. Software Description: - nvidia-graphics-drivers-304: NVIDIA binary Xorg driver - nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates: NVIDIA binary Xorg driver - nvidia-graphics-drivers-331: NVIDIA binary Xorg driver - nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates: NVIDIA binary Xorg driver Details: It was discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers incorrectly handled GLX indirect rendering support. An attacker able to connect to an X server, either locally or remotely, could use these issues to cause the X server to crash or execute arbitrary code resulting in possible privilege escalation. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 14.10: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
