CVE-2017-6271

NVIDIA Windows GPU Display Driver contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler for DxgkDdiCreateAllocation where untrusted user input is used as a divisor without validation while processing block linear information which may lead to a potential divide by zero and denial of service.
