* SECURITY UPDATE: ARGB Cursor Buffer Overflow in "NoScanout" Mode
- CVE-2013-0131* New upstream release
- Fixed CVE-2013-0131:
NVIDIA UNIX GPU Driver ARGB Cursor Buffer Overflow in
"NoScanout" Mode. This buffer overflow, which occurred
when an X client installed a large ARGB cursor on an
X server running in NoScanout mode, could cause a denial
of service (e.g., an X server segmentation fault), or
could be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution.[ Alberto Milone ]
* debian/dkms.conf{ .in}:
- Drop all the patches.
* debian/substvars:
- Add support for xorg-video-abi-14. - 13. By Marc Deslauriers
-
* SECURITY UPDATE: privilege escalation via kernel memory access
- debian/dkms/patches/ blacklist- vga-pmu- registers. patch: blacklist
more offsets in nv.{c,h}.
- debian/dkms.conf{ .in}: added new patch.
- CVE number pending - 12. By Alberto Milone
-
* New upstream release:
- Added support for the following GPUs:
o GeForce GT 635M
o GeForce 610M
- SECURITY UPDATE: privilege escalation via kernel
memory access (LP: #959842).
- Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort devices to
occasionally fail to turn back on after the system
is resumed from suspend.
- Added a ModeValidation X configuration option token,
"AllowNon3DVisionModes" , to allow modes that are not
optimized for NVIDIA 3D Vision to be validated on 3D
Vision monitors. - 11. By Alberto Milone
-
* New upstream release:
- Added support for the following GPUs:
o GeForce GTX 680
o GeForce GT 630M
o GeForce GT 620
- Fixed a VDPAU bug where decoding some H.264 streams
would cause hardware errors on lower-end products,
resulting in corruption and poor performance.
- Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort audio to stop
working after monitors are hotplugged on GeForce GT
520.
- Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
- Fixed a behavior change that prevented
ConnectedMonitor from being usable with DisplayPort
connectors.
- Marked the GVO Clone mode NV-CONTROL attributes:
NV_CTRL_GVO_ DISPLAY_ X_SCREEN
NV_CTRL_GVO_ X_SCREEN_ PAN_X
NV_CTRL_GVO_ X_SCREEN_ PAN_Y
as deprecated. They will be removed in a future
release. To display an X screen over GVO, it is
recommended to use GVO with MetaModes, instead.
- Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort devices to not
be listed in Xorg.*.log.
- Added support for 3D Vision ready displays that
have a NVIDIA 3D Vision infrared emitter built
inside the panel itself.
- Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL applications to
crash with some libc versions, such as eglibc 2.15
(LP: #929384).
- Fixed a bug that caused HDMI audio to stop working
on AppleTV devices when an X server was started.
* debian/nvidia- $flavour. postrm{ .in}:
- Make sure to remove the blacklist for hybrid
graphics and to rebuild the initramfs (LP: #958848). - 10. By Alberto Milone
-
* New upstream release:
- Added support for the following GPU:
o NVS 5200M
- Fixed a bug that caused black areas to appear on the
back faces of some models in Maya.
- Fixed a bug that resulted in the printing of spurious
loader error messages.
- Fixed a bug that could cause X to crash after
hotplugging displays.
- Fixed a bug which caused face selections to be
misrendered in Maya when using the paint selection
tool.
- Improved performance for interactive tools in Mudbox.
- Added support for deleting SDI audio ancillary data
packets when a video frame is dropped on a Quadro SDI
Output device. See the NV_CTRL_GVO_AUDIO_ BLANKING
attribute in NVCtrl.h for details. This option can be
set via the GvoAudioBlanking attribute in
nvidia-settings.
* debian/rules:
- Make sure that nouveau is blacklisted even when nvidia
is disabled. This is necessary in order to get hybrid
graphics to work.
* debian/nvidia- $(flavour) .postinst{ .in},
debian/nvidia- $(flavour) .prerm{ .in}:
- Make use of quirks from nvidia-common. - 8. By Alberto Milone
-
* New upstream release:
- Fixed a bug that would cause OpenGL applications to
crash when run with recent releases of glibc such as
glibc 2.14.90.
- Improved the performance of FBO bind operations when
using Xinerama by ~30% in some cases.
- Fixed a bug that could cause stereo corruption when
driving a stereo display and a non-stereo display
from the same GPU.
- Fixed a bug that could cause display devices on a
secondary GPU to get swapped between X screens when
restarting the X server.
- Fixed a bug that could result in line flickering in
full-scene anti- aliasing contexts.
- Fixed a bug that caused the physical dimensions of
rotated monitors to be reported incorrectly.
- Add support for the pre-VBO DrawArrays command in
the server-side GLX driver module. The NVIDIA
client-side GLX implementation never sends this
command, but the server needs to support it for
compatibility with other GLX client implementations.
- Fixed a regression that caused blank/white windows
when exhausting video memory on GeForce 6 and 7
series GPUs while using composited desktops.
- Fixed a bug that caused a crash when glDrawArrays
was used with a non-VBO vertex attribute array to
draw on a Xinerama screen other than screen 0 using
an indirect GLX context.
* debian/nvidia- $flavour. prerm.in:
- Use the right path to remove the alternative for the
other architecture (LP: #915461). - 7. By Alberto Milone
-
* New upstream release:
- Added support for the following GPU:
o GeForce GT 520MX
- Added support for xserver ABI 11 (xorg-server 1.11).
- Fixed a bug causing a Linux kernel BUG when retrieving
CPU information on some systems.
- Fixed a bug causing some applications to hang on exit.
- Fixed a bug causing flickering in some GPU/display
combinations.
- Fixed a bug that could result in poor OpenGL performance
after hotplugging a monitor.
- Fixed a bug causing possible text corruption when
recovering from GPU errors.
* debian/dkms.conf{ .in}:
- Make sure that dkms doesn't use the gold linker,
otherwise the resulting module would cause kernel
oops (LP: #607399).
- Drop non functional OBSOLETE_BY variable. - 6. By Alberto Milone
-
Re-enable grub fb and drop the initramfs hook in favour of
"alias nouveau/lbm_nouveau off" (LP: #864149). - 5. By Alberto Milone
-
* debian/rules:
- Make sure that the module alias is always correct and
uses underscores instead of hyphens (LP: #855396).
- Make the grub-gfxpayload file a template and blacklist
all Nvidia cards so that Grub doesn't set a framebuffer
which prevents recovery mode from working (LP: #854967).
- Make it possible to add card ids to the modaliases by
adding ids in debian/additional_ card_ids.
* debian/additional_ card_ids:
- Add support for card id 0dfc.
* debian/nvidia- $flavour. README. Debian. in:
- Document how to use the additional_card_ids file.
