Essential patches for Ubuntu 20.04 and 18.04 LTS rectify several Linux kernel vulnerabilities impacting Raspberry Pi devices.
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Summary

Update Instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1035-raspi 5.4.0-1035.38 linux-image-raspi 5.4.0.1035.70 linux-image-raspi2 5.4.0.1035.70 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1035-raspi 5.4.0-1035.38~18.04.1 linux-image-raspi-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.1035.37 After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes. ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well.
