I've heard comments from various people that in some drivers for
new cards that there are local security problems. The example
that was brought up was the driver for the Radeon 7000 being
able to write any where in memory and therefor compromise
security.

Without actually reading the drivers is there any place where
these security problems are discussed and archived?

Is there a good forum to ask if a driver is secure?
Have there been audits on drivers directly from Nvidia, Matrox or ATI?

Thanks,
John
