CISA confirms exploitation of a Linux firewall flaw. Check if your systems need the fix. ×

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 - linux-nvidia-6.8: Linux kernel for NVIDIA 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: - InfiniBand drivers; - Network drivers; - TCM subsystem; - B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol; - HSR network protocol; - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - Netfilter; - RDS protocol; (CVE-2026-53131, CVE-2026-53186, CVE-2026-53216, CVE-2026-53221, CVE-2026-53355, CVE-2026-63886, CVE-2026-63887, CVE-2026-63888, CVE-2026-63912, CVE-2026-63922, CVE-2026-63924, CVE-2026-63984, CVE-2026-63992, CVE-2026-63993, CVE-2026-63994, CVE-2026-64000, CVE-2026-64007, CVE-2026-64091)

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1063-nvidia 6.8.0-1063.66 linux-image-6.8.0-1063-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1063.66 linux-image-6.8.0-1063-nvidia-lowlatency 6.8.0-1063.66.1 linux-image-6.8.0-1063-nvidia-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-1063.66.1 linux-image-nvidia 6.8.0-1063.66 linux-image-nvidia-6.8 6.8.0-1063.66 linux-image-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1063.66 linux-image-nvidia-64k-6.8 6.8.0-1063.66 linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency 6.8.0-1063.66.1 linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency-6.8 6.8.0-1063.66.1 linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-1063.66.1 linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency-64k-6.8 6.8.0-1063.66.1 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1063-nvidia 6.8.0-1063.66~22.04.1 linux-image-6.8.0-1063-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1063.66~22.04.1 linux-image-nvidia-6.8 6.8.0-1063.66~22.04.1 linux-image-nvidia-64k-6.8 6.8.0-1063.66~22.04.1 linux-image-nvidia-64k-hwe-22.04 6.8.0-1063.66~22.04.1 linux-image-nvidia-hwe-22.04 6.8.0-1063.66~22.04.1 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.
