An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: ARM64 architecture; Cryptographic API; UDF file system; NFC subsystem; Network traffic control Update instructions After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes. Learn more about how to get the fixes. 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. The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu Release Package Version 18.04 LTS bionic linux-image-4.15.0-1183-gcp – 4.15.0-1183.200 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro . linux-image-4.15.0-2091-gcp-fips – 4.15.0-2091.97 FIPS Updates FIPS-140 certified package with security fixes.
