AI-suggested
A patch is available and should be applied immediately. Users must update their Linux kernel to the fixed versions listed in the Ubuntu advisory USN-8015-1 and reboot their systems to complete the update. Due to an ABI change, all third-party kernel modules must be recompiled and reinstalled after the update. Standard system upgrades will handle this automatically unless kernel metapackages have been manually removed.
Description
Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in the Linux kernel affecting subsystems including the Cryptographic API, SMB network file system, and io_uring. These flaws could allow an attacker to compromise affected systems. Fixes have been released for various Linux kernel versions, and users are advised to update and reboot to apply the patches. Due to an ABI change, recompilation of third-party kernel modules is necessary after updating.
