Publication date
21 August 2026
Overview
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Releases
Packages
- linux-nvidia-6.17 - 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:
- Foo-over-UDP (FOU);
- ARM64 architecture;
- x86 architecture;
- Block layer subsystem;
- Drivers core;
- Null block device driver;
- Bluetooth drivers;
- Counter interface drivers;
- DMA engine subsystem;
- DPLL subsystem;
- GPIO subsystem;
- GPU drivers;
- I2C subsystem;

Update instructions
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
Learn more about how to get the fixes.The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
| Ubuntu Release | Package Version | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 24.04 LTS noble | linux-image-6.17.0-1031-nvidia – 6.17.0-1031.31 | ||
| linux-image-6.17.0-1031-nvidia-64k – 6.17.0-1031.31 | |||
| linux-image-nvidia-6.17 – 6.17.0-1031.31 | |||
| linux-image-nvidia-64k-6.17 – 6.17.0-1031.31 | |||
| linux-image-nvidia-64k-hwe-24.04 – 6.17.0-1031.31 | |||
