Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7906-3

linux-raspi vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 25.10

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 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:
   - x86 architecture;
   - Cryptographic API;
   - Android drivers;
   - TTY drivers;
   - F2FS file system;
   - 9P file system network protocol;
(CVE-2025-40025, CVE-2025-40026, CVE-2025-40027, CVE-2025-40028,
CVE-2025-40108, CVE-2025-40109)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 25.10
   linux-image-6.17.0-1005-raspi   6.17.0-1005.5
   linux-image-raspi               6.17.0-1005.5
   linux-image-raspi-6.17          6.17.0-1005.5

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.
