NVIDIA, often referred to as “Team Green, ”has indicated that a wide range of its hardware products—including the GeForce, GeForce RTX, Quadro, NVS, and Tesla series—are affected by these security vulnerabilities. This encompasses a significant segment of their consumer base. Users should consult the following list to determine which driver versions are essential for patching these critical vulnerabilities:

Product Lineup	Operating System	Driver Branch	Update Required If Below	Safe Version
GeForce / RTX / Quadro / NVS / Tesla	Windows	R590	591.59	591.59
GeForce / RTX / Quadro / NVS / Tesla	Windows	R580	582.16	582.16
GeForce / RTX / Quadro / NVS / Tesla	Windows	R570	573.96	573.96
GeForce / RTX / Quadro / NVS / Tesla	Windows	R535	539.64	539.64

It is strongly recommended to update to the specified driver versions to protect systems from the identified vulnerabilities. Given that many of these issues are deemed critical, they pose significant risks to users. Additionally, NVIDIA has rolled out another security update, v582.28, which addresses vulnerabilities in older GeForce GPUs from the Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta families. Users of older models may need to manually install these updates, as they are no longer automatically supported by Game Ready Drivers.
