Nvidia Driver Vulnerabilities

[pgde]

See https://www.tomshardware.com/news/nvidia-graphics-card-security-vulnerabilities-drivers,38727.html. Quoting from the article:

"A batch of new drivers from Nvidia offers a different incentive: protection against eight vulnerabilities that could be used to conduct various attacks.

Nvidia offered details about the vulnerabilities in a security bulletin this week. They vulnerabilities vary in scope. They can enable code execution, privilege escalation and denial of service (DoS) attacks and can be found in drivers for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris operating systems. GeForce, Quadro, NVS and Tesla products are vulnerable."

I wonder whether this just means the very latest driver or all recent drivers?
