CVE-2013-5987

Published: 21 January 2014

Unspecified vulnerability in NVIDIA graphics driver Release 331, 325, 319, 310, and 304 allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions for the GPU and gain privileges via unknown vectors.

Notes

nvidia is not releasing updates for anything other than 304,
319, and 331, so mark others as ignored as there is nothing we
can do to fix them.
Updating the binary drivers runs the risk of hardware
regressions. Since the lts releases now have updated drivers
available in the archive, downgrading priority to low
