It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly clear data in the floating point divider unit during speculative execution. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. ( CVE-2025-54505 ) 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; x86 architecture; Block layer subsystem; Cryptographic API; Rados block device (RBD) driver; Compressed RAM block device driver; Character device driver; TPM device driver; Hardware crypto device drivers; EDAC drivers; GPU drivers; Greybus drivers; HID subsystem; Microsoft Hyper-V drivers; Hardware monitoring drivers; I2C subsystem; IIO...

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:
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.
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.
