AI-suggested
Apply the official security update provided by Ubuntu by upgrading to linux-image-5.15.0-1027.27 or later for NVIDIA Tegra IGX systems. After updating, reboot the system to activate the fixes. Due to an ABI change in the kernel update, recompile and reinstall all third-party kernel modules to ensure compatibility. Follow the instructions in the Ubuntu security notice USN-7550-7 for detailed update guidance.
Description
Multiple security vulnerabilities were identified in the Linux kernel for NVIDIA Tegra IGX systems affecting GPU drivers and the Sun RPC protocol. These flaws could potentially allow an attacker to compromise the system. A security update has been released to address these issues, requiring a system reboot and recompilation of third-party kernel modules due to ABI changes.
