(CVE-2025-38079, CVE-2025-38048, CVE-2025-38075, CVE-2025-38077,
CVE-2025-38035, CVE-2025-38037, CVE-2025-38034, CVE-2025-38058,
CVE-2025-38004, CVE-2025-38031, CVE-2025-38078, CVE-2025-38044,
CVE-2025-38066, CVE-2025-38052, CVE-2025-38043, CVE-2025-38065,
CVE-2025-38003, CVE-2025-38061, CVE-2025-38051, CVE-2025-38072,
CVE-2025-38068)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
linux-image-5.15.0-1085-nvidia 5.15.0-1085.86
linux-image-5.15.0-1085-nvidia-lowlatency 5.15.0-1085.86
linux-image-nvidia 5.15.0.1085.85
linux-image-nvidia-5.15 5.15.0.1085.85
linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency 5.15.0.1085.85
linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency-5.15 5.15.0.1085.85

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.
