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 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 20.04 LTS focal linux-image-5.4.0-1137-raspi – 5.4.0-1137.150 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro . linux-image-raspi – 5.4.0.1137.168 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro . linux-image-raspi-5.4 – 5.4.0.1137.168 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro . linux-image-raspi2 – 5.4.0.1137.168 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro . 18.04 LTS bionic linux-image-5.4.0-1137-raspi – 5.4.0-1137.150~18.04.1 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro . linux-image-raspi-5.4 – 5.4.0.1137.150~18.04.1 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro . linux-image-raspi-hwe-18.04 – 5.4.0.1137.150~18.04.1 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro .
