  • CVE-2018-6248 – Vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler for DxgkDdiEscape where the software uses a sequential operation to read or write a buffer, but it uses an incorrect length value that causes it to access memory that is outside of the bounds of the buffer which may lead to denial of service or possible escalation of privileges
  • CVE-2018-6249 – Vulnerability in kernel mode layer handler where a NULL pointer dereference may lead to denial of service or potential escalation of privileges

Support Plan for Fermi series GeForce
Updated 04/06/2018 11:16 AM
Effective April 2018, Game Ready Driver upgrades, including performance enhancements, new features, and bug fixes, will be available only on Kepler, Maxwell, and Pascal series GPUs. Critical security updates will be available on Fermi series GPUs through January 2019. A complete list of Fermi series GeForce GPUs can be found here.
http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4654
 
In addition to that, Nvidia also cancels active support for 32 bit OS
It's time for 32-bit OSes to retire on the PC. They had a good run, starting (mainstream) with Win95, well over 20 years ago now, and most people who are actively using their GPUs (IE, beyond desktop apps/work) likely switched years ago already - I myself went 64-bit with winvista, and never ever looked back.
 
Geforce Version: 397.31 WHQL
April 25, 2018


Version: 397.31 WHQL
Release Date: 2018.4.25
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit, Windows 8.1 64-bit, Windows 8 64-bit, Windows 10
Language: English (US)
File Size: 414.87 MB

Game Ready
Provides the optimal gaming experience for BattleTech and FrostPunk.

New Features
 NVIDIA RTXTM Technology
Developer preview for NVIDIA RTX ray tracing technology for DirectX 12. NVIDIA
RTX supports the Microsoft DirectX Raytracing (DXR) API on NVIDIA Volta GPUs.

In order to get started with developing DirectX Raytracing applications accelerated by
RTX, you'll need the following:
• NVIDIA Volta GPU
• NVIDIA driver version 396 or higher
• Windows 10 RS4
• Microsoft's DXR developer package, consisting of DXR-enabled D3D runtimes,
HLSL compiler, and headers

 Vulkan 1.1
This driver release provides full support for the new Vulkan 1.1 API and passes the
Vulkan Conformance Test Suite (CTS) version 1.1.0.3.

 HD Audio
This driver adds new sample rates 32 kHz, 88.2 kHz, and 176.4 kHz to the HDMI
device for all GPUs.


 Display Driver Standalone Installer
The standalone display driver installer now removes extracted files after installing the
driver, leaving a smaller footprint on the hard drive.

 Display Driver Libraries
Added new libraries (nvdlist.dll and nvdlistx.dll) to support Optimus and MSHybrid
notebooks.

 NVDECODE API
Added a new API that lets the client reconfigure the decoder resolution and other post
processing parameters (such as the display resolution, cropping rectangle, and aspect
ratio of the decoded frame) without having to destroy and recreate the decoder
instance. This API is useful in scenarios where the decoder instance initialization time
takes up a significant portion of the overall decode execution time; for example, in
back-to-back decoding of multiple short clips of different resolutions.
The new API will be included in Video Codec SDK 8.2, which is expected to release in
late Q2 2018.

Application SLI Profiles
Added or updated the following SLI profiles:
• Descenders
• Frostpunk
• Warhammer: Vermintide 2
• Far Cry 5

3D Vision Profiles
Added or updated the following 3D Vision profiles:
• Descenders - Good
• EVE Valkyrie - Warzone - Good

Software Module Versions

• nView - 148.92
• HD Audio Driver - 1.3.37.1
• NVIDIA PhysX System Software - 9.17.0524
• GeForce Experience - 3.13.1.30
• CUDA - 9.2

Also WDDM 2.4 - thanks @Endbase
