Details:

It was discovered that an assert() could be triggered in the NVIDIA
graphics drivers. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial
of service. (CVE-2021-1093)

It was discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers permitted an
out-of-bounds array access. A local attacker could use this
to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2021-1094)

It was discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers contained a
vulnerability in the kernel mode layer where they did not properly
control calls with embedded parameters in some situations. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.  (CVE-2021-1095)
