CVE-2021-1079

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NVIDIA GeForce Experience versions prior to 3.22

Description The issue concerns a vulnerability in GameStream plugins where log files are created using NT/System level permissions. This may lead to code execution, denial of service, or local privilege escalation. However, the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, nor would they be able to leak information as a direct result of the overwrite.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.22, update to version 3.22 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the GameStream plugins until a patch is applied.
