Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'kmod-nvidia304, kmod-nvidia340, kmod-nvidia-current, ldetect-lst, nvidia304, nvidia340, nvidia-current' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0407 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A vulnerability has been found in the nvidia proprietary driver that could be used to allow a local, non-privileged user to corrupt kernel memory. This could be used to gain local root privileges. A local user can issue a specially crafted IOCTL to write a 32-bit integer value stored in the kernel driver to a user-specified memory location, potentially in the kernel address space. The user has a limited ability to influence the value of the integer that is written. (CVE-2015-5950) Affected Software/OS: 'kmod-nvidia304, kmod-nvidia340, kmod-nvidia-current, ldetect-lst, nvidia304, nvidia340, nvidia-current' package(s) on Mageia 5. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
