Hi, |

Linux kernel < 4.7.0 cannot be compiled with nvidia-drivers newer than 367.35-r1. |
4 |
Linux kernel >= 4.70 cannot be compiled with nvidia-drivers older than 370.23. |

|

According to this |
7 |
http://www.heise.de/security/meldung/Sicherheitsforscher-kapern-HTTP-Verbindungen-von-Linux-3292257.html |
8 |
Linux kernels < 4.7.0 are affected by a security bug. |
9 |
|
10 |
Unfortunately nvidia-drivers 370.23 has a bug too: Blender (and may be |
11 |
other similiar programs) crash when accessing certain funtionality |
12 |
of that driver. |
13 |
|
14 |
I reported that bug here: |
15 |
https://developer.blender.org/T49113 |
16 |
|
17 |
Due to that a bug was reported to nvidia and they accepted and fixed |
18 |
that bug with nvidia dirvers 370.23, which became already available. |
19 |
|
20 |
Without that driver all Blender users have to stick with a Linux |
21 |
kernel with a security problem or have to quit using Blender... |
22 |
|
23 |
Would it be possible to integrate the newest nvidia-driver 370.28 into |
24 |
Gentoo so that users of Blender and similiar programs could happily |
25 |
switch to Linux kernel >=4.7.0 (4.7.3) ? |
26 |
|

Thank you very much for your help and understanding for a Blender |
28 |
freak ! :)) |
