CVE-2025-40351, CVE-2025-68249)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  linux-image-5.15.0-1095-nvidia  5.15.0-1095.96
  linux-image-5.15.0-1095-nvidia-lowlatency  5.15.0-1095.96
  linux-image-nvidia              5.15.0.1095.95
  linux-image-nvidia-5.15         5.15.0.1095.95
  linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency   5.15.0.1095.95
  linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency-5.15  5.15.0.1095.95

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.
