The security risks affect Nvidia’s GeForce, RTX, Quadro, NVS and Tesla products, and if not patched could lead to unauthorised attacks on users’ PCs.
There are two main types of vulnerabilities exposed by the risks identified. The first “could allow a privileged attacker to escalate permissions”, while the other is “a vulnerability in the user mode layer, where an unprivileged regular user can cause an out-of-bounds read”.
Nvidia says this can result in “remote code execution, denial of services, escalation of privileges, information disclosure and data tampering” if not addressed.
Even though the console is yet to be officially announced, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa confirmed the device will be backwards compatible and that Nintendo Switch Online will be available on the console.
Nintendo reiterated it still intends to announce its next console hardware before the end of its current fiscal year, which concludes on March 31, 2025.
