AI-suggested
A patch is available and users should update their linux-azure kernel packages to version 5.15.0-1095.104~20.04.1 or later as provided by the Ubuntu security notice USN-7726-5. After updating, a system reboot is required to apply the fixes. Due to ABI changes, all third-party kernel modules must be recompiled and reinstalled to maintain compatibility. Following these steps will mitigate the vulnerabilities.
Description
Multiple security vulnerabilities were identified in the Linux kernel used in the linux-azure, linux-azure-5.15, and linux-azure-fips packages. These flaws affect the NTFS3 file system and network traffic control subsystems and could potentially allow an attacker to compromise the system. Fixes for these issues have been released and are available in updated kernel versions. Users must apply the updates and reboot to ensure protection. Due to ABI changes, recompilation of third-party kernel modules is required after updating.
