NVIDIA sent out a security bulletin today to reveal a fresh security flaw found in their Linux GPU drivers. So it’s time to get updating again to be safe.
Noted down as CVE‑2025‑23244 here’s their explanation:
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability which could allow an unprivileged attacker to escalate permissions. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.
There’s a number of different driver series, so you’ll need to check what you’re currently on to see the best version upgrade. If you’re on any of these you’ll be fine: 535.247.01, 550.163.01, 570.133.07 and 575.51.02.
