AI-suggested

A patch is available and users should update to linux-ibm-5.15 version 5.15.0-1110.114~20.04.1 or later. After applying the update, a system reboot is required to ensure all changes take effect. Due to an ABI change, third-party kernel modules must be recompiled and reinstalled. Users of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS are advised to apply this update promptly. Ubuntu Pro provides extended security coverage and includes this fix.

Description

Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in the Linux kernel version linux-ibm-5.15 affecting various subsystems including ARM64 architecture, InfiniBand drivers, network drivers, and others. Notably, CVE-2025-10263 involves a flaw in some ARM processors where a broadcast TLB invalidation can complete before memory writes are globally observed, potentially allowing a local attacker to write to memory after permissions have been revoked, bypassing memory protections or escalating privileges. These issues could allow attackers to compromise affected systems. A patch is available in version 5.15.0-1110.114~20.04.1 and users are advised to update and reboot their systems.
