Nvidia discloses security flaws in its GPU drivers for Windows and Linux

While we are grateful to Nvidia for disclosing these vulnerabilities, we will note that Nvidia did not disclose any of these fixes within their Geforce 461.09 release notes. This prevented early reporting on the driver from containing the real reason why Nvidia released a new mainstream WHQL Geforce driver which lacked any new game-specific optimisations.

Come on Nvidia, why are you hiding such important details like that from your driver release notes? It is not a coincidence that this disclosure came on the same day as the fix, so why didn’t you disclose the fix in your driver release notes. Surely these security fixes are important enough to mention in your consumer-facing documentation? If nothing else, disclosing these fixes in your release notes would convince more of your users to update their drivers and secure their systems.
