CVE-2018-6253
NVIDIA GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the DirectX and OpenGL Usermode drivers where a specially crafted pixel shader can cause infinite recursion leading to denial of service.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
