AI-suggested
A patch is available and has been released by the vendor. Users should update their Linux kernel packages to versions at or beyond 6.8.0-1064.72~22.04.1 (and other listed fixed versions) as applicable to their distribution. After updating, a system reboot is required to apply the changes. Due to an ABI change in the kernel update, all third-party kernel modules must be recompiled and reinstalled to ensure compatibility. Follow the vendor's update instructions carefully to fully remediate the vulnerability.
