Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8059-7
March 04, 2026

linux-aws-fips vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-aws-fips: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems with FIPS

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:
  - SMB network file system;
(CVE-2025-22037, CVE-2025-37899)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
  linux-image-6.8.0-1047-aws-fips  6.8.0-1047.50+fips1
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  linux-image-aws-fips            6.8.0-1047.50+fips1
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  linux-image-aws-fips-6.8        6.8.0-1047.50+fips1
                                  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.
