[Ubuntu Security Notices](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices) 2. USN-8096-5 --- # USN-8096-5: Linux kernel (NVIDIA Tegra IGX) vulnerabilities Publication date 23 March 2026 Overview Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Releases [22.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=jammy) --- Open side navigation ## Packages * [linux-nvidia-tegra-igx](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=linux-nvidia-tegra-igx) - Linux kernel for NVIDIA Tegra IGX systems ## Details Qualys discovered that several vulnerabilities existed in the AppArmor Linux kernel Security Module (LSM). An unprivileged local attacker could use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor profiles causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel memory), local privilege escalation, or possibly escape a container. (LP: #2143853) 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: * PowerPC architecture; * x86 architecture; * Block layer subsystem; * Cryptographic API; * ACPI drivers; * ATM drivers; * Drivers core; * Network block device driver; * Bluetooth drivers; * Character device driver; * TPM device driver; * Data acquisition framework and drivers; * Counter interface... --- Show more ## 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.](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) 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. The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: | Ubuntu Release | Package Version | | --- | --- | | 22.04 LTS jammy | [linux-image-5.15.0-1044-nvidia-tegra-igx](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-nvidia-tegra-igx) –  [5.15.0-1044.44](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-nvidia-tegra-igx/5.15.0-1044.44) | | | | [linux-image-5.15.0-1044-nvidia-tegra-igx-rt](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-nvidia-tegra-igx) –  [5.15.0-1044.44](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-nvidia-tegra-igx/5.15.0-1044.44) | | | | [linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia-tegra-igx) –  [5.15.0.1044.46](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia-tegra-igx/5.15.0.1044.46) | | | | [linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx-5.15](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia-tegra-igx) –  [5.15.0.1044.46](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia-tegra-igx/5.15.0.1044.46) | | | | [linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx-rt](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia-tegra-igx) –  [5.15.0.1044.46](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia-tegra-igx/5.15.0.1044.46) | | | | [linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx-rt-5.15](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia-tegra-igx) –  [5.15.0.1044.46](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia-tegra-igx/5.15.0.1044.46) | | | --- ### Reduce your security exposure Ubuntu Pro provides ten-year security coverage to 25,000+ packages in Main and Universe repositories, and it is free for up to five machines.
