Privilege escalation vulnerability in the NVidia binary driverPrivilege escalation vulnerability in the NVidia binary driverPosted Aug 1, 2012 23:15 UTC (Wed) by corbet (editor, #1)In reply to: Privilege escalation vulnerability in the NVidia binary driver by THe_ZiPMaN Parent article: Privilege escalation vulnerability in the NVidia binary driver That is an oops listing. That doesn't say "fixed" to me at all; it says "the exploit doesn't quite work with this particular version of the kernel and the driver".

The particular exploit code is not working anymore, but because there is an actual oops this means that the actual bug is not fixed and competent hackers can write a new exploit on the same bug. Or at least try to.
