Suggested advisory:
========================

The updated packages fix security vulnerabilities:

NVIDIA GPU Display Driver Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvidia.ko) IOCTL in which user-mode clients can access legacy privileged APIs, which may lead to denial of service, escalation of privileges, and information disclosure (CVE‑2021‑1052).

NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvidia.ko) IOCTL in which improper validation of a user pointer may lead to denial of service (CVE‑2021‑1053).

NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Linux contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvidia.ko) in which it does not completely honor operating system file system permissions to provide GPU device-level isolation, which may lead to denial of service or information disclosure (CVE‑2021‑1056).
