NVIDIA rilascia l'aggiornamento di sicurezza 473.47 Driver WHQL per GPU Kepler

Ten years ago, in 2012, NVIDIA introduced its Kepler series of graphics cards based on the TSMC 28 nm nodo. Architecture has been supported for quite a while now by NVIDIA’s drivers, and the last series to carry support was the 470 driver class. Oggi, NVIDIA pushed a security update in the form of a 473.47 WHQL driver that brings fixes to various CVE vulnerabilities that can cause anything from issues that may lead to denial of service, information disclosure, or data tampering. This driver version has no fixed matters and doesn’t bring any additional features except the fix for vulnerabilities. With CVEs rated from 4.1 a 8.5, NVIDIA has fixed major issues bugging Kepler GPU users. With a high risk for code execution, denial of service, escalation of privileges, information disclosure, and data tampering, gli 473.47 WHQL driver is another step for supporting Kepler architecture until 2024, when NVIDIA plans to drop the support for this architecture. Supported cards are GT 600, GT 700, GTX 600, GTX 700, Titano, Titan Black, and Titan Z.

The updated drivers are available for installation on NVIDIA’s website and for users of TechPowerUp’s NVCleanstall software.
