Package: nvidia-kernel-common
Version: 20051028+1
Severity: important
The nvidia-kernel init script creates the device files with a
permission of 660 and group video. This is good, but unfortunately
useless if the system uses udev: in that case the device nodes will be
created on loading the Nvidia module and are world-writable. This can
have rather bad consequences, see
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183567 for what may happen.
On my system I fixed this by adding a line with
options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=44
NVreg_DeviceFileMode=0660
to /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc, which gives the same permissions
as in the case of static device files.
