Public bug reported:
On 2022-02-09 /usr/bin/unattended-upgrade upgraded all nvidia-related packages,
like libnvidia-common-450-server and libnvidia-compute-450-server and
nvidia-driver-440-server.
Probably because of https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-5276-1: "It was
discovered that the NVIDIA graphics drivers incorrectly handled permissions in
the kernel mode layer. A local attacker could use this issue to write to
protected memory and cause a denial of service".
After this upgrade the system was broken. Programs using X that worked the day
before now fail with
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for
operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 151 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 3 (X_GLXCreateContext)
The kernel reports
$ dmesg | tail
[7333810.263547] NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 450.172.01, but
NVRM: this kernel module has the version 450.156.00. Please
NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
NVRM: components have the same version.
