AI-suggested
A patch is available and users should update their Linux kernel packages to the fixed versions listed in the Ubuntu security notice USN-8015-4. 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. Standard system upgrades will handle this automatically unless the standard kernel metapackages have been manually removed.
Description
Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in the Linux kernel affecting the Cryptographic API, SMB network file system, and io_uring subsystem. These flaws could potentially allow an attacker to compromise affected systems. The issues impact various Linux kernel packages for cloud platforms including AWS, GCP, IBM, and low latency kernels. Fixed versions have been released and are available for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS. Users must update to these fixed versions and reboot to apply the patches. Due to an ABI change, recompilation of third-party kernel modules is required after updating.
