Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8817-2
September 30, 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:

It was discovered that some Arm processors could complete a broadcast
translation lookaside buffer (TLB) invalidation before memory writes made
through the invalidated translation were globally observed. A local
attacker could possibly use this to write to memory after permission to do
so had been revoked, bypassing memory protections or escalating privileges.
(CVE-2025-10263)

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:
  - ARM64 architecture;
  - InfiniBand drivers;
  - Network drivers;
  - TCM subsystem;
  - B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol;
  - HSR network protocol;
  - IPv4 networking;
  - IPv6 networking;
  - Netfilter;
  - RDS protocol;
(CVE-2026-53131, CVE-2026-53186, CVE-2026-53216, CVE-2026-53221,
CVE-2026-53354, CVE-2026-53355, CVE-2026-63886, CVE-2026-63887,
CVE-2026-63888, CVE-2026-63912, CVE-2026-63922, CVE-2026-63924,
CVE-2026-63984, CVE-2026-63992, CVE-2026-63993, CVE-2026-63994,
CVE-2026-64000, CVE-2026-64007, CVE-2026-64091)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
  linux-image-6.8.0-1065-aws-fips  6.8.0-1065.68+fips1
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  linux-image-aws-fips            6.8.0-1065.68+fips1
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  linux-image-aws-fips-6.8        6.8.0-1065.68+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.
