FYI: Ubuntu moved nvidia driver to 1.1 and is now important security update.

Version 295.40-0ubuntu1.1:

  * SECURITY UPDATE: privilege escalation via kernel memory access
    - debian/dkms/patches/blacklist-vga-pmu-registers.patch: blacklist
      more offsets in nv.{c,h}.
    - debian/dkms.conf{.in}: added new patch.
    - CVE number pending

Haven't tried 1.1 but highly doubt this would fix it according to the updates. Volunteers? :)
