Your drivers are quite outdated (the current release is 310.19). At
least two security issues have been fixed in subsequent releases:
Fixed in 295.71
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.full-disclosure/86747
Fixed in 295.40
CVE-2012-0946
http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3109/~/security-vulnerability-cve-2012-0946-in-the-nvidia-unix-driver
Not to mention numerous bug fixes including a few affecting issues with
flash.
Any reason yum isn't automatically updating these for you?
