CVE-2016-7391 describes a kernel memory write vulnerability in NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Drivers (R340 before 342.00 and R375 before 375.63) affecting Quadro, NVS, and GeForce products. This flaw, stemming from a missing array bounds check in the nvlddmkm.sys handler for DxgDdiEscape ID 0x100010b, allows a local user to achieve denial of service or potential privilege escalation. With a CVSSv3 score of 7.8 (High), it indicates a local attack vector with low complexity, leading to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-40661) exists, suggesting public exploit code availability, though there is no evidence of active exploitation, Metasploit/Nuclei modules, or significant community discussion or media coverage.
