So Nvidia claims these fun new vulnerabilities (including CVE-2026-24187) impact all drivers prior to 596.36. My hope was that they are patching vulnerabilities that were recently introduced (since Nvidia drivers for the last year and a half have been pretty awful), but according to Nvidia they've been around since the beginning of time but were not discovered until recently.

For 4090 users, the most stable driver has been 566.36 from December '24. Are we screwed now? Have any 4000-series users found a stable 596.36+ driver?
