==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Summary:
A security issue was fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-nvidia-7.0: Linux kernel for NVIDIA systems
Details:
A security issue was discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use this to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
- IPv4 networking;
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
linux-image-7.0.0-1025-nvidia 7.0.0-1025.26~24.04.1
linux-image-7.0.0-1025-nvidia-64k 7.0.0-1025.26~24.04.1
linux-image-nvidia-64k-7.0 7.0.0-1025.26~24.04.1
linux-image-nvidia-64k-hwe-24.04 7.0.0-1025.26~24.04.1
linux-image-nvidia-7.0 7.0.0-1025.26~24.04.1
linux-image-nvidia-hwe-24.04 7.0.0-1025.26~24.04.1
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.
