Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition or gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler due to lack of synchronization in two functions. A local attacker can provide a specially crafted input, trigger a race condition and cause denial of service or potentially escalate privileges.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in full access to the system.
