    Kind of wild given that they release updates every other day and break features like Shadowplay until you update. You’d think at least it’d be secure.

        Maybe it’s my specific card or something but it stops being able to record and none of my hotkeys work until I update. It’s happened at least half a dozen times for me, quite annoying.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Today NVIDIA put out a new security bulletin, to highlight multiple security issues identified in their proprietary graphics driver for Linux and Windows.

    All driver versions below 555.52.04, 550.90.07, 535.183.01 and 470.256.02 are affected.

    So depending on the driver series you go for, make sure you’re on at least one of those or above.

    From the announcement these are the ones that affect either both Linux and Windows or just Linux:

    There’s one other just for Windows, and multiple issues in VGPU Software too.

    See their security bulletin dated June 6th for all the info, they only sent out the email announcement today.

    This is why it is important to use opensource drivers.
