An update that solves three vulnerabilities and has two security fixes can now
be installed.

## Description:

This update for kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06 fixes the following issues:

Update to version 555.42.06 for CUDA.

Security Update 550.90.07:

  * CVE-2024-0090: Fixed out of bounds write (bsc#1223356).
  * CVE-2024-0092: Fixed incorrect exception handling (bsc#1223356).
  * CVE-2024-0091: Fixed untrusted pointer dereference (bsc#1223356).

Changes in kernel-firmware-nvidia-gspx-G06:

  * Update to 550.100 (bsc#1227575)

  * Add a second flavor to be used by the kernel module versions used by CUDA.
    The firmware targetting CUDA contains '-cuda' in its name to track its
    versions separately from the graphics firmware. (bsc#1227417)

Changes in nvidia-open-driver-G06-signed:

  * Update to 550.100 (bsc#1227575)

  * Fixed a bug that caused OpenGL triple buffering to behave like double
    buffering.

  * To avoid issues with missing dependencies when no CUDA repo is present make
    the dependecy to nvidia-compute-G06 conditional.

  * CUDA is not available for Tumbleweed, exclude the build of the cuda flavor.

  * preamble: let the -cuda flavor KMP require the -cuda flavor firmware

  * Add a second flavor for building the kernel module versions used by CUDA.
    The kmp targetting CUDA contains '-cuda' in its name to track its versions
    separately from the graphics kmp. (bsc#1227417)

  * Provide the meta package nv-prefer-signed-open-driver to make sure the
    latest available SUSE-build open driver is installed - independent of the
    latest available open driver version in he CUDA repository. Rationale: The
    package cuda-runtime provides the link between CUDA and the kernel driver
    version through a Requires: cuda-drivers >= %version This implies that a
    CUDA version will run withany kernel driver version equal or higher than a
    base version. nvidia-compute-G06 provides the glue layer between CUDA and a
    specific version of he kernel driver both by providing a set of base
    libraries and by requiring a specific kernel version. 'cuda-drivers'
    (provided by nvidia-compute-utils-G06) requires an unversioned nvidia-
    compute-G06. With this, the resolver will install the latest available and
    applicable nvidia-compute-G06. nv-prefer-signed-open-driver then represents
    the latest available open driver version and restricts the nvidia-
    compute-G06 version to it. (bsc#1227419)
