Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Linux Kernel Privilege Escalation Vulnerability USN-8281-2

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8281-2 May 22, 2026 linux-azure-4.15, linux-azure-fips vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-azure-4.15: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems - linux-azure-fips: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems with FIPS Details: It was discovered that the Linux kernel algif_aead module did not properly handle in-place cryptographic operations. This flaw is known as Copy Fail. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-31431) 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; - Packet sockets; (CVE-2026-31504, CVE-2026-43033, CVE-2026-43077, CVE-2026-43078) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS linux-image-4.15.0-1201-azure 4.15.0-1201.216 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-4.15.0-2110-azure-fips 4.15.0-2110.116 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-azure-4.15 4.15.0.1201.169 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-azure-fips 4.15.0.2110.106 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-azure-fips-4.15 4.15.0.2110.106 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-azure-lts-18.04 4.15.0.1201.169 Available with Ubuntu Pro After a standard system update you need to rebootyour 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.
