(CVE-2026-31504)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
   linux-image-4.4.0-1155-aws      4.4.0-1155.161
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-4.4.0-281-generic   4.4.0-281.315~14.04.1
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-4.4.0-281-lowlatency  4.4.0-281.315~14.04.1
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-aws                 4.4.0.1155.152
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-generic-lts-xenial  4.4.0.281.315~14.04.1
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-lowlatency-lts-xenial  4.4.0.281.315~14.04.1
                                   Available with Ubuntu Pro
   linux-image-virtual-lts-xenial  4.4.0.281.315~14.04.1
                                   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.
