linux-nvidia-tegra-igx vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-nvidia-tegra-igx: Linux kernel for NVIDIA Tegra IGX systems
Details:
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
- Packet sockets;
- Network traffic control;
- VMware vSockets driver;
(CVE-2025-38618, CVE-2025-38477, CVE-2025-38617)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
linux-image-5.15.0-1035-nvidia-tegra-igx 5.15.0-1035.35
linux-image-5.15.0-1035-nvidia-tegra-igx-rt 5.15.0-1035.35
linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx 5.15.0.1035.37
linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx-5.15 5.15.0.1035.37
linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx-rt 5.15.0.1035.37
linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx-rt-5.15 5.15.0.1035.37
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
