Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8016-1
February 04, 2026

linux-nvidia, linux-nvidia-6.8, linux-nvidia-lowlatency vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 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
- 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:
   - Cryptographic API;
   - SPI subsystem;
   - SMB network file system;
   - io_uring subsystem;
(CVE-2025-38561, CVE-2025-39698, CVE-2025-40019, CVE-2025-68746)

Update instructions:

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

   linux-image-6.8.0-1045-nvidia-64k  6.8.0-1045.48~22.04.1
   linux-image-nvidia-6.8          6.8.0-1045.48~22.04.1
   linux-image-nvidia-64k-6.8      6.8.0-1045.48~22.04.1
   linux-image-nvidia-64k-hwe-22.04  6.8.0-1045.48~22.04.1
   linux-image-nvidia-hwe-22.04    6.8.0-1045.48~22.04.1

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.
