Threats tagged 'usn-8013-1'

Several security vulnerabilities were discovered in the Linux kernel affecting subsystems including the Cryptographic API and SMB network file system. These flaws could potentially allow an attacker to compromise the system. Multiple Linux kernel variants, including those for cloud platforms and hardware enablement, are affected. Fixes have been released and are available through official Ubuntu security updates. Users are advised to update and reboot their systems to apply the patches. Due to ABI changes, recompilation of third-party kernel modules may be required.
