This isn't what the advisory says:

    Revision:   1.0

    As of the publication date, the latest NVIDIA binary driver is still
    vulnerable.

Maybe they discount the version you linked to because it calls itself a
beta.

I just verified that their exploit works in 1.0-8774 and doesn't work
in 1.0-9625.  Also, there's a 1.0-9626 driver out which isn't a beta
(that was released last week).
