Nvidia · Nvidia Gpu Driver · CVE-2016-6776
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Android versions Kernel-3.10
**Description**
The issue is related to an elevation of privilege vulnerability in the NVIDIA GPU driver, which is due to inadequate access control. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel, potentially leading to a local permanent device compromise. The compromise may require reflashing the operating system to repair the device.
**Recommendations**
For Android versions Kernel-3.10, consider restricting access to the NVIDIA GPU driver until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the vulnerable driver to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
