[Bug 1771814] Re: NVIDIA CVE-2018-6249 CVE-2018-6253

 

This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 -
384.130-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 (384.130-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * SECURITY UPDATE:
    - CVE-2018-6249, 2018-6253 (LP: #1771814).
  * New upstream release:
   - Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
   - Fixed a string concatenation bug that caused libGL to accidentally try
     to create the directory "$HOME.nv" rather than "$HOME/.nv" in some cases
     where /tmp isn't accessible.
   - Increased the version numbers of the GLVND libGL, libGLESv1_CM,
     libGLESv2, and libEGL libraries, to prevent concurrently installed
     non-GLVND libraries from taking precedence in the dynamic linker cache.
   - Fixed a bug which could cause X servers that export a Video Driver ABI
     earlier than 0.8 to crash when running X11 applications which call
     XRenderAddTraps().
