Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:

- linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems

- linux-aws-6.8: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems

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:

- ARM32 architecture;

- ARM64 architecture;

- PowerPC architecture;

- Compute Acceleration Framework;

- Arm Firmware Framework for ARMv8-A(FFA);

- Hardware monitoring drivers;

- InfiniBand drivers;

- Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA) driver;

- Network file systems library;

- SMB network file system;

- File systems infrastructure;

- Software nodes and device properties;

- Bluetooth subsystem;

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1064-aws 6.8.0-1064.67 linux-image-6.8.0-1064-aws-64k 6.8.0-1064.67 linux-image-aws-6.8 6.8.0-1064.67 linux-image-aws-64k-6.8 6.8.0-1064.67 linux-image-aws-64k-lts-24.04 6.8.0-1064.67 linux-image-aws-lts-24.04 6.8.0-1064.67 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1064-aws 6.8.0-1064.67~22.04.1 linux-image-6.8.0-1064-aws-64k 6.8.0-1064.67~22.04.1 linux-image-aws 6.8.0-1064.67~22.04.1 linux-image-aws-6.8 6.8.0-1064.67~22.04.1 linux-image-aws-64k 6.8.0-1064.67~22.04.1 linux-image-aws-64k-6.8 6.8.0-1064.67~22.04.1 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.
