Nvidia Overflow

This Nvidia driver bug is a nasty one. I looked at the POC code and started thinking about all the different attack vectors for this. Quite scary. Think about it, this is a driver bug that can be reached by manipulating client software (malicious website, anything that talks to X etc...). Its about time someone started looking at closed source software in Linux. Much credit to Derek Abdine for this find.
