AI-suggested
Users should apply the official security update provided by Ubuntu (linux-oem-6.14 version 6.14.0-1011.11) and reboot their systems to ensure the fixes take effect. 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 kernel metapackages were manually removed.
Description
Multiple security vulnerabilities were identified in the Linux kernel's OEM 6.14 version, specifically affecting the Thunderbolt and USB4 drivers as well as network traffic control subsystems. These flaws could potentially allow an attacker to compromise the system. A security update addressing these issues has been released, requiring a system reboot and recompilation of third-party kernel modules due to an ABI change.
