AI-suggested

A security update is available and should be applied immediately. Users should upgrade to linux-nvidia-7.0 version 7.0.0-1018.18~24.04.1 or later and reboot their systems to ensure all fixes are applied. Due to an ABI change in the kernel, all third-party kernel modules must be recompiled and reinstalled after the update. Follow the vendor advisory at https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8760-1 for detailed instructions.
