Thank you for reporting this vulnerability. We are investigating ways to close it. In the meantime, as additional protection against this vulnerability, there are mechanisms available to override the default security settings of the device nodes: please see the Q/A item "How and when are the NVIDIA device files created?" in Chapter 7, "Frequently Asked Questions" of the driver README for details on how to set custom owner, group, and permissions on these files:
