Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NVIDIA GPU driver versions prior to Kernel-3.10

Description The issue is related to insufficient access control in the NVIDIA GPU driver for the Android operating system. It allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the kernel by exploiting a local malicious application. This problem is considered critical due to the potential for local device compromise, which may require reflashing the operating system to repair the device.

Recommendations For versions prior to Kernel-3.10, update the NVIDIA GPU driver to a version that includes the necessary security patches to prevent exploitation of this issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the kernel to minimize the risk of exploitation until a patch is available.
