Debian Stable Updates Announcement SUA 252-1 https://www.debian.org

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This update addresses problems in three non-free driver packages supporting
nVidia graphics cards.
The Linux kernel released in Debian 12.5 changed an inlined function to
call two GPL-only symbols, making that function inaccessible to non-free
kernel modules.
As a result, the nVidia kernel modules cannot be built via DKMS at
installation time for the updated kernel. This issue could not be resolved
in time for the release of Debian 12.5.
In addition, the source packages nvidia-graphics-drivers and
nvidia-settings now build binaries for ppc64el, and
nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla builds transitional packages to ease future
updates.
The following packages have been updated to correct the problem:
Source package Fixed version
============== =============
nvidia-graphics-drivers 525.147.05-7~deb12u1
nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla 525.147.05-7~deb12u1
nvidia-graphics-drivers-tesla-470 470.223.02-4~deb12u1
nvidia-settings 525.147.05-1~deb12u1
If you use the affected packages, we recommend you upgrade to these
versions.
