Ubuntu 6.06 LTS : linux-restricted-modules-2.6.15 regression fix (USN-346-2)

high Nessus Plugin ID 27926

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

USN-346-1 provided an updated Linux kernel to fix several security vulnerabilities. Unfortunately the update broke the binary 'nvidia' driver from linux-restricted-modules. This update corrects this problem. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
