This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 -
384.130-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
---------------
nvidia-graphics-drivers-384 (384.130-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) xenial; urgency=medium
* SECURITY UPDATE:
- CVE-2018-6249, 2018-6253 (LP: #1771814).
* New upstream release:
- Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels.
- Fixed a string concatenation bug that caused libGL to accidentally try
to create the directory "$HOME.nv" rather than "$HOME/.nv" in some cases
where /tmp isn't accessible.
- Increased the version numbers of the GLVND libGL, libGLESv1_CM,
libGLESv2, and libEGL libraries, to prevent concurrently installed
non-GLVND libraries from taking precedence in the dynamic linker cache.
- Fixed a bug which could cause X servers that export a Video Driver ABI
earlier than 0.8 to crash when running X11 applications which call
XRenderAddTraps().
