ubuntu
February 26, 2025
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Summary
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
- linux-gke: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems
- linux-gkeop: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems
Details:
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
- ARM32 architecture;
- x86 architecture;
- Block layer subsystem;
- Cryptographic API;
- ACPI drivers;
- Drivers core;
- ATA over ethernet (AOE) driver;
- Network block device driver;
- TPM device driver;
- Hardware crypto device drivers;
- ARM SCMI message protocol;
- EFI core;
- GPU drivers;
- I2C subsystem;
- I3C subsystem;
- InfiniBand drivers;
- Input Device core drivers;
- IOMMU subsystem;
- Mailbox framework;
- Media drivers;
- Ethernet bonding driver;
- Network dri...
Update Instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1006-gkeop 6.8.0-1006.8 linux-image-6.8.0-1019-gke 6.8.0-1019.23 linux-image-6.8.0-1024-gcp 6.8.0-1024.26 linux-image-6.8.0-1024-gcp-64k 6.8.0-1024.26 linux-image-gcp 6.8.0-1024.26 linux-image-gcp-64k 6.8.0-1024.26 linux-image-gcp-64k-lts-24.04 6.8.0-1024.26 linux-image-gcp-lts-24.04 6.8.0-1024.26 linux-image-gke 6.8.0-1019.23 linux-image-gkeop 6.8.0-1006.8 linux-image-gkeop-6.8 6.8.0-1006.8 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.
