An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: Cryptographic API; SMB network file system 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; SMB network file system 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 22.04 LTS jammy linux-image-5.15.0-1040-nvidia-tegra-igx – 5.15.0-1040.40 linux-image-5.15.0-1040-nvidia-tegra-igx-rt – 5.15.0-1040.40 linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx – 5.15.0.1040.42 linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx-5.15 – 5.15.0.1040.42 linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx-rt – 5.15.0.1040.42 linux-image-nvidia-tegra-igx-rt-5.15 – 5.15.0.1040.42 20.04 LTS focal linux-image-5.15.0-1096-oracle – 5.15.0-1096.102~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-1099-aws – 5.15.0-1099.106~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-1099-gcp – 5.15.0-1099.108~20.04.1 linux-image-aws – 5.15.0.1099.106~20.04.1 linux-image-aws-5.15 – 5.15.0.1099.106~20.04.1 linux-image-gcp – 5.15.0.1099.108~20.04.1 linux-image-gcp-5.15 – 5.15.0.1099.108~20.04.1 linux-image-oracle – 5.15.0.1096.102~20.04.1 linux-image-oracle-5.15 – 5.15.0.1096.102~20.04.1 Reduce your security exposure Ubuntu Pro provides ten-year security coverage to 25,000+ packages in Main and Universe repositories, and it is free for up to five machines.
