Your drivers are quite outdated (the current release is 310.19).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

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?
