(CVE-2024-41012, CVE-2024-38597, CVE-2024-42252, CVE-2024-43914,
CVE-2024-38553, CVE-2024-40982, CVE-2024-41066, CVE-2024-42311,
CVE-2024-41020, CVE-2024-53141)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
linux-image-4.4.0-1141-kvm 4.4.0-1141.152
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-kvm 4.4.0.1141.138
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.
