CVE-2017-6259
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler where an incorrect detection and recovery from an invalid state produced by specific user actions may lead to denial of service.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.99%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
