A number of security flaws in the Linux kernel affecting GCP on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS have been addressed. Discover more information and instructions for updating.
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 18.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1101-gcp 5.4.0-1101.110~18.04.1 linux-image-gcp 5.4.0.1101.77 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.
