Ubuntu November 10, 2025

Barak Gross discovered that some Intel® Xeon® processors with SGX enabled did not properly handle buffer restrictions. A local authenticated user could potentially use this issue to escalate their privileges. ( CVE-2025-20053 ) Avinash Maddy discovered that some Intel® processors did not properly isolate or compartmentalize the stream cache mechanisms. A local authenticated user could potentially use this issue to escalate their privileges. ( CVE-2025-20109 ) Joseph Nuzman discovered that some Intel® Xeon® processors did not properly manage references to active allocate resources. A local authenticated user could potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service (system crash). ( CVE-2025-21090 ) It was discovered that some Intel® Xeon® 6 processors did not properly provide sufficient granularity of...

( CVE-2025-20109 ) Joseph Nuzman discovered that some Intel® Xeon® processors did not properly manage references to active allocate resources. A local authenticated user could potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service (system crash). ( CVE-2025-21090 ) It was discovered that some Intel® Xeon® 6 processors did not properly provide sufficient granularity of access control in the out of band management service module (OOB-MSM). An authenticated user could potentially use this issue to escalate their privileges. ( CVE-2025-22839 ) It was discovered that some Intel® Xeon® 6 Scalable processors did not properly handle a specific sequence of processor instructions, leading to unexpected behavior. A local authenticated user could potentially use this issue to escalate their privileges. ( CVE-2025-22840 ) Joseph Nuzman discovered that some Intel® Xeon® 6 processors with Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX) did not properly handle overlap between protected memory ranges. A local authenticated user could potentially use this issue to escalate their privileges. ( CVE-2025-22889 ) Avraham Shalev discovered that some Intel® Xeon® processors did not properly provide sufficient control flow management in the Alias Checking Trusted Module (ACTM) firmware. A local authenticated user could potentially use this issue to escalate their privileges. ( CVE-2025-24305 ) Aviv Eisen and Avraham Shalev discovered that some Intel® Xeon® 6 processors when using Intel® SGX or Intel® TDX did not properly protect against out-of-bounds writes in the memory subsystem. A local authenticated user could potentially use this issue to escalate their privileges. ( CVE-2025-26403 ) Aviv Eisen and Avraham Shalev discovered that some Intel® Xeon® 6 processors when using Intel® SGX or Intel® TDX did not properly implement security checks in the DDRIO configuration. A local authenticated user could potentially use this issue to escalate their privileges. ( CVE-2025-32086 )

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.

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

Ubuntu Pro provides ten-year security coverage to 25,000+ packages in Main and Universe repositories, and it is free for up to five machines.
