Problem:
Ever since the 2024-03-13 [Stable Update], my journalctl started registering the nvidia related kernel BUG errors every day the system is used.
Scanned the logs with search text: out-of-bounds write in _nv for the time range since 2024-02-02 to now (2024-03-17), here is the output:
Mar 13 14:42:03 user1 kernel: BUG: KFENCE: out-of-bounds write in _nv044009rm+0x10/0x30 [nvidia]

Mar 17 13:32:35 user1 kernel: BUG: KFENCE: out-of-bounds write in _nv044009rm+0x10/0x30 [nvidia]
I don’t know what impact this has if any, I merely came across these logs whilst attempting to investigate system freezes that started happening after installing the 2024-03-06 and 2024-02-21 [Stable Updates] on 2024-03-10. (couple day’s prior to this latest stable release)

Thus far merely reporting an issue. If anyone knows why it’s happening, would be cool to hear.
