Non security issue: * Refactored .spec file to fully support transactional and immutable operating systems (jsc#PED-14609): * Migrated user and group creation (pkcs11, pkcsslotd) from imperative %pre shell commands to declarative systemd-sysusers configuration. * Replaced manual /var directory tracking and %ghost directives with comprehensive systemd-tmpfiles configurations. * Implemented dynamic, architecture-specific tmpfiles.d generation to properly provision hardware-specific token directories (e.g., ccatok, ep11tok, lite, and HSM_MK_CHANGE). * Fixed permissions for /run/opencryptoki within tmpfiles.d to ensure the daemon can successfully drop privileges and bind its communication socket. * Moved 32-bit and 64-bit shared library symlink creation (such as PKCS11_API.so, stdll, and methods) from %post scriptlets into the %install phase, ensuring they are correctly packaged and tracked on the read-only /usr partition. * Removed legacy/etc/pkcs11 bash migration logic from %post, replacing it with a declarative tmpfiles.d symlink rule. * Cleaned up scriptlets to only execute transaction-safe macros (such as ldconfig and systemd service handlers). ## Patch Instructions: To install this SUSE update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like YaST online_update or "zypper patch".

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8148-6 April 14, 2026 linux-azure, linux-azure-6.8 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-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems - linux-azure-6.8: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure cloud 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: - Cryptographic API; - Netfilter; - Network traffic control; (CVE-2026-23060, CVE-2026-23074, CVE-2026-23111) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1052-azure 6.8.0-1052.58 linux-image-azure-6.8 6.8.0-1052.58 linux-image-azure-lts-24.04 6.8.0-1052.58 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1052-azure 6.8.0-1052.58~22.04.1 linux-image-azure 6.8.0-1052.58~22.04.1 linux-image-azure-6.8 6.8.0-1052.58~22.04.1 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.
