Nvidia has published a security bulletin for all Nvidia GPU display drivers up to, but not including, the latest release (441.12). Within the bulletin the GPU company reports various vulnerabilities including those with the potential for denial of service or escalation of privilege attacks. Fear not, these holes are easily patched – simply update your drivers.

    It's good that the update is out but it also means as a community we don't recommend people to roll back to unsecure drivers when people run into issues in a game. Or at least let people know about the security flaw and leave it up to them as this could be something not really exploited.
