Severity: High
Vulnerability Published: 2013-02-15
Patch Published: 2013-02-15
CVE [?]: CVE-2013-0109, CVE-2013-0110, CVE-2013-0111
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:nvidia:display_driver

Synopsis

A video display service on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple privilege escalation vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of the NVIDIA Display Driver service on the remote Windows host is later than 174.00 but prior to 307.78, or later than 310.00 but prior to 311.00. It is therefore affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- An privilege escalation vulnerability exists due to not properly handling exceptions. A local attacker, using a crafted application, could exploit this to overwrite memory, allowing the execution of arbitrary code or causing a denial of service. (CVE-2013-0109)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Stereoscopic 3D Driver service due to an unquoted service search path. A local attacker, using a trojan horse program, could exploit this to execute arbitrary code in the root path. (CVE-2013-0110)

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Update Service Daemon due to an unquoted service search path. A local attacker, using a trojan horse program, could exploit this to execute arbitrary code in the root path. (CVE-2013-0111)

Solution

Upgrade to NVIDIA graphics drivers version 307.78 / 311.00 or later.

Public Exploits

Target Network Port(s): N/A
Target Asset(s): N/A
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the NVIDIA Display Driver 174.x < 307.78 / 310.x < 311.00 Multiple Vulnerabilities vulnerability:

Metasploit: exploit/windows/local/nvidia_nvsvc
[Nvidia (nvsvc) Display Driver Service Local Privilege Escalation]
Exploit-DB: exploits/windows_x86-64/local/30393.rb
[EDB-30393: Nvidia (nvsvc) Display Driver Service - Local Privilege Escalation (Metasploit)]

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.

WARNING: Beware of using unverified exploits from sources such as GitHub or Exploit-DB. These exploits and PoCs could contain malware. For more information, see how to use exploits safely.
