I hope Debian releases the fixes for my decade old GeForce 8800 GT (512
MB of VRAM) video card in oldstable/Jessie v8. I have these packages right now: nvidia-alternative 340.106-1 nvidia-detect 340.106-1 nvidia-driver 340.106-1 nvidia-driver-bin 340.106-1 nvidia-installer-clea 20141201+1 nvidia-kernel-common 20141201+1 nvidia-kernel-dkms 340.106-1 nvidia-modprobe 340.46-1 nvidia-settings 340.46-2 nvidia-smi 340.106-1 nvidia-support 20141201+1 nvidia-vdpau-driver:a 340.106-1 King Beowulf wrote: Nvidia driver user may wish to update their driver due to 8 possible security vulnerabilities.

I have these packages right now: nvidia-kernel-dkms 340.106-1 It's a minor security issue for a linux system. All but one of the cves are for windows only. The one that is for linux is a side channel attack similar to spectre that requires running code by a local user. I don't use debian, so have no idea about their procedures. Does that version have the spectre and meltdown fixes? Regards, Dave Hodgins -- Change to for email replies. |
