(CVE-2025-38350, CVE-2023-52975, CVE-2024-50073, CVE-2024-57996,
CVE-2024-49950, CVE-2024-38541, CVE-2025-37752, CVE-2023-52757,
CVE-2025-38083, CVE-2025-37797)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
   linux-image-5.4.0-1148-oracle   5.4.0-1148.158~18.04.1
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-oracle              5.4.0.1148.158~18.04.1
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-oracle-5.4          5.4.0.1148.158~18.04.1
                                   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.
