Bug 19994

Advisory:
This proprietary nvidia-current driver update provides an upgrade to the
new R375 long lived branch adding support for nVidia Geforce 10 (GTX10xx,
Pascal) series hardware and fixes the following security issues:

NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode
layer (nvidia.ko) handler where a missing permissions check may allow
users to gain access to arbitrary physical memory, leading to an
escalation of privileges (CVE-2016-7382).

NVIDIA GPU Display Driver on Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel
mode layer (nvidia.ko) handler for mmap() where improper input validation
may allow users to gain access to arbitrary physical memory, leading to
an escalation of privileges (CVE-2016-7389).


NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode
layer (nvidia.ko) where a user can cause a GPU interrupt storm, leading
to a denial of service (CVE-2016-8826).

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED

That update result in a lack of graphical interface on my computer.
The booting list of services note nvidia OK but then hang when it should go graphic.
When downgrading to previous version, at the end urpmi notify that version 375.26
was inactive for that kernel (4.4.39).
Tried twice with same result.
I'm running mga 5 server 32 bit and have a gts450.
