==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7682-5
August 12, 2025

linux-gcp-6.8, linux-raspi vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems
- linux-gcp-6.8: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) 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:
  - Network traffic control;
(CVE-2025-38083, CVE-2025-37797)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
  linux-image-6.8.0-1032-raspi    6.8.0-1032.36
  linux-image-raspi               6.8.0-1032.36
  linux-image-raspi-6.8           6.8.0-1032.36

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  linux-image-6.8.0-1034-gcp      6.8.0-1034.36~22.04.2
  linux-image-6.8.0-1034-gcp-64k  6.8.0-1034.36~22.04.2
  linux-image-gcp                 6.8.0-1034.36~22.04.2
  linux-image-gcp-6.8             6.8.0-1034.36~22.04.2
  linux-image-gcp-64k             6.8.0-1034.36~22.04.2
  linux-image-gcp-64k-6.8         6.8.0-1034.36~22.04.2

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.
