AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied immediately by updating to the fixed kernel versions listed in the Ubuntu advisory USN-7792-1. After updating, a system reboot is required to activate the fixes. Additionally, due to an ABI change in the kernel, all third-party kernel modules must be recompiled and reinstalled to maintain system stability and functionality.
Description
Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in the Linux kernel affecting various subsystems including Ext4 file system, packet sockets, network traffic control, TLS protocol, VMware vSockets driver, and the XFRM subsystem. These flaws could potentially allow an attacker to compromise the system. Updates fixing these issues have been released for several Linux kernel packages used in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and 24.04 LTS, including specialized kernels for cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, IBM, and NVIDIA. A system reboot is required after applying the updates, and recompilation of third-party kernel modules is necessary due to ABI changes.
