NVIDIA reveal more GPU driver security issues for July 2025

NVIDIA reveal more GPU driver security issues for July 2025

Time to get updating your NVIDIA GPU driver, as more security issues have been revealed in their July 2025 Security Bulletin.

We were wondering why NVIDIA had been incredibly vague on what actually changed in their recent driver releases. With both the 570.172.08 and 575.64.03 that I covered here on GamingOnLinux only noting “Minor bug fixes and improvements”. NVIDIA did the same again with 575.64.05 that arrived earlier this week. Now we know why then.

From the security bulletin here’s the issues noted that affect Linux systems:

There’s a few more specific to Windows I’m not including here.

According to NVIDIA you’re safe if you’re on at least 575.64.05, 570.172.08 or 535.261.03. All prior versions in each series are vulnerable to the issues.
