I'm not sure how many Linux/Nvidia combos are in our community, but there are at least Linux or NVidia users.

Here is an advisory:

For those interested: this is both rather rare and rather special. An interesting take is e.g. there:

I will check it out, since the FreeBSD nvidia binary is likely vulnerable by the exploit.
