Ubuntu 22.04: USN-7406-6 critical: IGX kernel and NVIDIA driver flaws

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7406-6 April 07, 2025 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: - GPU drivers; - SMB network file system; - Network namespace; - Networking core; (CVE-2024-26928, CVE-2024-56658, CVE-2024-35864, CVE-2024-57798) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-5.15.0-1022-nvidia-tegra-igx 5.15.0-1022.22 linux-image-5.15.0-1022-nvidia-tegra-igx-rt 5.15.0-1022.22 linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx 5.15.0.1022.24 linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx-rt 5.15.0.1022.24 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.
