NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream nvidia-graphics-drivers-319-updates package and not the nvidia-graphics-drivers-319-updates package as distributed by Ubuntu.

All versions of NVIDIA GPU and GeForce Experience installer contain a vulnerability where it fails to set proper permissions on the package extraction path thus allowing a non-privileged user to tamper with the extracted files, potentially leading to escalation of privileges via code execution.
