May 20, 2026
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Summary
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-nvidia: Linux kernel for NVIDIA systems - linux-nvidia-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel for NVIDIA systems Details: It was discovered that the Linux kernel algif_aead module did not properly handle in-place cryptographic operations. This flaw is known as Copy Fail. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-31431) 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: - ARM64 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Cryptographic API; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - Drivers core; - Null block device driver; - Ublk userspace block driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Counter interface drivers; ...

Update Instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1054-nvidia 6.8.0-1054.57 linux-image-6.8.0-1054-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1054.57 linux-image-6.8.0-1054-nvidia-lowlatency 6.8.0-1054.57.1 linux-image-6.8.0-1054-nvidia-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-1054.57.1 linux-image-nvidia 6.8.0-1054.57 linux-image-nvidia-6.8 6.8.0-1054.57 linux-image-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1054.57 linux-image-nvidia-64k-6.8 6.8.0-1054.57 linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency 6.8.0-1054.57.1 linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency-6.8 6.8.0-1054.57.1 linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-1054.57.1 linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency-64k-6.8 6.8.0-1054.57.1 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.
