Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7120-3 November 21, 2024 linux-lowlatency, linux-lowlatency-hwe-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-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel - linux-lowlatency-hwe-6.8: Linux low latency kernel 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: - File systems infrastructure; - Network traffic control; (CVE-2024-46800, CVE-2024-43882) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-49-lowlatency 6.8.0-49.49.1 linux-image-6.8.0-49-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-49.49.1 linux-image-lowlatency 6.8.0-49.49.1 linux-image-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-49.49.1 linux-image-lowlatency-64k-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-49.49.1 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-49.49.1 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-49-lowlatency 6.8.0-49.49.1~22.04.1 linux-image-6.8.0-49-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-49.49.1~22.04.1 linux-image-lowlatency-64k-hwe-22.04 6.8.0-49.49.1~22.04.1 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-22.04 6.8.0-49.49.1~22.04.1 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.
