==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7236-3
February 12, 2025

linux-azure-6.8 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-azure-6.8: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure cloud systems

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:
   - Netfilter;
   - Network traffic control;
   - VMware vSockets driver;
(CVE-2024-53164, CVE-2024-53103, CVE-2024-53141)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
   linux-image-6.8.0-1021-azure    6.8.0-1021.25~22.04.1
   linux-image-6.8.0-1021-azure-fde  6.8.0-1021.25~22.04.1
   linux-image-azure               6.8.0-1021.25~22.04.1
   linux-image-azure-fde           6.8.0-1021.25~22.04.1

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.
