Yeah its not perfect, I've had reports of it working on some systems
and not on others, it may be that some OS security mechanisms make the
exploit less potent, however thats is more to do with fixing the
payload part of the exploit than the bit that exercises the GPU side.
The PoC just shows you can read/write to arbitrary memory, once you
can do that rewriting the payload bit should be possible.

No I think they added this in response to a previous security issue,
but i don't have an installed nvidia driver near me now to see exactly
what needs changing.
