This came out earlier today, so probably stale news to a lot of you. However
a lot of people don't hang out on bugtraq or slashdot.
There are local and remote root exploits available for machines that use the
NVIDIA commercial drivers.

I do not know how big the remote window is - the announcement says you can be
hit by a malicious web site (so be careful if you surf your pr0n with Linux
to avoid the Windows trojans!).
Cheers,
James
