Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7861-5
December 03, 2025

linux-raspi, linux-raspi-realtime, linux-xilinx vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems
- linux-raspi-realtime: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi Real-time systems
- linux-xilinx: Linux kernel for Xilinx systems

Details:

Jean-Claude Graf, Sandro Rüegge, Ali Hajiabadi, and Kaveh Razavi discovered
that the Linux kernel contained insufficient branch predictor isolation
between a guest and a userspace hypervisor for certain processors. This
flaw is known as VMSCAPE. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this
to expose sensitive information from the host OS. (CVE-2025-40300)

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:
   - HSI subsystem;
   - Bluetooth subsystem;
   - Timer subsystem;
(CVE-2025-37838, CVE-2025-38118, CVE-2025-38352)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
   linux-image-6.8.0-1019-xilinx   6.8.0-1019.20
   linux-image-6.8.0-1042-raspi    6.8.0-1042.46
   linux-image-6.8.0-2033-raspi-realtime  6.8.0-2033.34
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-raspi               6.8.0-1042.46
   linux-image-raspi-6.8           6.8.0-1042.46
   linux-image-raspi-realtime      6.8.0-2033.34
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-raspi-realtime-6.8  6.8.0-2033.34
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-xilinx              6.8.0.1019.20
   linux-image-xilinx-6.8          6.8.0.1019.20
   linux-image-xilinx-zynqmp       6.8.0.1019.20

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.
