USN-8760-2: Linux kernel (NVIDIA) vulnerabilities
Ubuntu’s USN-8760-2 fixes multiple Linux kernel flaws in NVIDIA builds that could allow system compromise.
Canonical published USN-8760-2 for Linux kernel packages used with NVIDIA on Ubuntu. The notice says flaws across architectures and subsystems, including ARM, x86, RISC-V, cryptographic APIs, ACPI, and Bluetooth drivers, could let an attacker compromise a system. The text provided does not name CVE identifiers or report active exploitation.
- USN-8760-2 covers the Linux kernel packaged for NVIDIA-related Ubuntu systems.
- Affected areas include multiple CPU architectures, crypto, drivers, and core subsystems.
- Ubuntu says an attacker could possibly compromise the system; no CVE list is included.
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: - User-space API (UAPI); - Kernel build system; - ARM32 architecture; - ARM64 architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - Intel NPU Driver; - ACPI drivers; - Android drivers; - Drivers core; - Compressed RAM block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Character device driver; - Hardware random number generator core; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - Buffer Sharing…
