Vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a local user to cause DoS condition or gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient array index validation in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgDdiEscape ID 0x7000014, that allows a local attacker to trigger denial of service or increase privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in denial of service or privilege escalation.
