Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-azure-fips: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems with FIPS
- linux-fips: Linux kernel with FIPS

Details:

It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the
Linux kernel did not properly verify the target namespace when handling
upcalls. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
(CVE-2025-2312)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
   linux-image-5.4.0-1121-fips     5.4.0-1121.131
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-5.4.0-1153-azure-fips  5.4.0-1153.160+fips1
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-azure-fips          5.4.0.1153.90
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-fips                5.4.0.1121.118
                                   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.
