   Nvidia has published two security driver updates this time around instead of just one: 474.82 and 474.89. The former is dedicated to Nvidia's GTX 600/700 series (bar the GTX 750 series) running Windows 10 or 11, while the latter is dedicated to all Nvidia GPUs that support and are still running Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1. This would include GPUs like the GTX 10 series and RTX 20 series and older but exclude GPUs like the RTX 30 and 40 series that only support Windows 10 and 11.

   Nvidia's official statement on the changes made in 474.82.

   NVIDIA has released a software security update display driver for desktop Kepler-seriesGeForce GPUs which are no longer supported by Game Ready Drivers. This update addresses issues that may lead to multiple security impacts. See Security Bulletin: NVIDIA GPU Display Driver – February 2024, which is posted shortly after the release date of this software on the NVIDIA Product Security page.

   Nvidia has now published details of the vulnerabilities that were patched.

   Nvidia has pubslihed a new security bulletin highlighting all of the security vulnerabilities its latest 551.61 Game Ready Driver, 474.82, and 474.89 security drivers issued earlier this month. The security bulletin is quite long, highlighting several vulnerabilities that Nvidia's older drivers are plagued by. So if you are on an older driver it's worth updating to the latest Nvidia graphics driver your GPU or operating system supports to keep your system safe from hackers.

   Nvidia announced a total of eight security vulnerabilities affecting its older GPU drivers. Most of these flaws surround vulnerabilities in the Windows/Linux kernel, Windows user model layer, memory location in Linux, and Nvidia's vGPU plugin. These flaws can allow an attacker to execute exploits involving code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering.
