    It seems to have gone under everyone's radar.

    NVIDIA Security Bulletin 4462

    Even though the article doesn't specifically say it, digging information on the separate CVE's brings this answer:
    - For Windows Users everything before 382.05 [GeForce Branch] and 377.35 [Quadro Branch] is vulnerable to all the exploits described in the article.
    - For Linux Users everything before 381.22 [GeForce Branch] and 375.66 [Quadro Branch] is vulnerable to all the exploits described in the article.

    This breach seems to be more troublesome than the GFE one uncovered one month ago. Yes, 382.XX branch doesn't seem to be really stable or performance enhancing, but to make sure we don't end up with nasty surprises like WannaCry Ransomware, we have to let go of "Don't fix what ain't broken" and install these new updates. :vboops:
