However, according to foreign media Engadget reported, in addition to the processor, NVIDIA GPR also by Specter security loopholes.
Affected by the Meltdown and Specter storage vulnerabilities, not only your processor and operating system - your graphics card is also affected.To this end, NVIDIA has described in detail how its GPU is subject to speculative execution attacks, and has begun to release Updated driver to solve the problem.
All of its GeForce, Quadro, NVS, Tesla, and GRID chips do not seem to be affected by Meltdown (aka attack variant 3), but certainly will be at least affected by one specter version (Variant 1) and potentially suffer Another version (Variant 2) affected the new software to ease the first Specter loophole, but NVIDIA promised to address another loophole with future mitigations and final updates.
Most security updates are now released, but Tesla and GRID will not be available until late January for security updates.
NVIDIA did not mention whether its patch fixes could affect device performance, and Microsoft cautioned that some Specter patches may slow down older PCs, but those fixes are for the CPU rather than the GPU, and NVIDIA has promised to make it Shield device provides updates.
Given the severity of the vulnerability, in which attackers can steal sensitive data from protected memory through speculative attacks, it is necessary to have NVIDIA patches, but they also indicate that Meltdown and Specter have become a headache. Although they do not affect all aspects of computing, they are already widespread enough that the average consumer will almost certainly have some sort of device to update.
