linux-lowlatency vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 24.10 Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel Details: 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: - Network traffic control; - VMware vSockets driver; (CVE-2024-53103, CVE-2024-53164) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.10 linux-image-6.11.0-1008-lowlatency 6.11.0-1008.8 linux-image-6.11.0-1008-lowlatency-64k 6.11.0-1008.8 linux-image-lowlatency 6.11.0-1008.8 linux-image-lowlatency-64k 6.11.0-1008.8 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.
