NVIDIA Unix security team reports:

The GLX indirect rendering support supplied on NVIDIA products is subject to the recently disclosed X.Org vulnerabilities (CVE-2014-8093, CVE-2014-8098) as well as internally identified vulnerabilities (CVE-2014-8298).

Depending on how it is configured, the X server typically runs with raised privileges, and listens for GLX indirect rendering protocol requests from a local socket and potentially a TCP/IP port. The vulnerabilities could be exploited in a way that causes the X server to access uninitialized memory or overwrite arbitrary memory in the X server process. This can cause a denial of service (e.g., an X server segmentation fault), or could be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution.
