(CVE-2025-38350, CVE-2024-47685, CVE-2024-57996, CVE-2024-53130,
CVE-2025-37752, CVE-2023-52477, CVE-2024-53131, CVE-2024-50202,
CVE-2024-27074, CVE-2024-50051)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  linux-image-4.15.0-2122-aws-fips  4.15.0-2122.128
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  linux-image-aws-fips            4.15.0.2122.116
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  linux-image-aws-fips-4.15       4.15.0.2122.116
                                  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.
