This release fixes a security vulnerability in the NVIDIA driver when
operated in "NoScanout" mode which could allow an ARGB cursor buffer
overflow resulting in a segmentation fault in the X Window system or be
exploited to allow arbitrary code execution and/or privilege escalation.

Users of the NVIDIA and NVIDIA 304.xx legacy drivers are advised to
update to the latest versions which this issue, or to disable NoScanout
mode.
Thank you,
