Comment 9 for bug 959842

Status update: a fix for this issue in the 295 driver series is imminent. We hope to be posting updated drivers and a public announcement before the end of the week.

In addition to updated drivers, we will be providing a patch to the kernel module's Linux kernel interface layer, which is open source, so that older driver versions can be secured as well. I recommend that the packages for the older driver versions which are supplied for previous Ubuntu releases which are still receiving security updates be patched.
