Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7990-3 February 11, 2026 linux-xilinx-zynqmp vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-xilinx-zynqmp: Linux kernel for Xilinx ZynqMP processors 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; - Padata parallel execution mechanism; - Netfilter; (CVE-2022-49698, CVE-2025-21726, CVE-2025-40019) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS linux-image-5.4.0-1072-xilinx-zynqmp 5.4.0-1072.76 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-xilinx-zynqmp 5.4.0.1072.72 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-xilinx-zynqmp-5.4 5.4.0.1072.72 Available with Ubuntu Pro 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.

(CVE-2023-31436) Sanan Hasanov discovered that the framebufferconsole driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform checks for font dimension limits. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-3161) Patryk Sondej and Piotr Krysiuk discovered that a race condition existed in the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel when processing batch requests, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-32233) It was discovered that the NET/ROM protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-32269) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1024-xilinx-zynqmp 5.4.0-1024.28 linux-image-xilinx-zynqmp 5.4.0.1024.27 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.

security advisorydenial of servicecriticalUbuntu 20.04: USN-6151-1 Critical Xilinx ZynqMP Kernel Threats
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.. =========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6151-1 June 08, 2023 linux-xilinx-zynqmp vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-xilinx-zynqmp: Linux kernel for Xilinx ZynqMP processors Details: It was discovered that the System V IPC implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle large shared memory counts. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2021-3669) It was discovered that the KVM VMX implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle indirect branch prediction isolation between L1 and L2 VMs. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to expose sensitive information from the host OS or other guest VMs. (CVE-2022-2196) Gerald Lee discovered that the USB Gadget file system implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-4382) It was discovered that the RNDIS USB driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow vulnerability. A local attacker with physical access could plug in a malicious USB device to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-23559) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1023-xilinx-zynqmp 5.4.0-1023.27 After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
