========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7792-3 October 08, 2025
linux-aws-6.8 vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-aws-6.8: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems 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: - Ext4 file system; - Packet sockets; - Network traffic control; - TLS protocol; - VMware vSockets driver; - XFRM subsystem; (CVE-2025-38500, CVE-2025-37785, CVE-2025-38617, CVE-2025-37756, CVE-2025-38477, CVE-2025-38618) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1040-aws 6.8.0-1040.42~22.04.1 linux-image-6.8.0-1040-aws-64k 6.8.0-1040.42~22.04.1 linux-image-aws 6.8.0-1040.42~22.04.1 linux-image-aws-6.8 6.8.0-1040.42~22.04.1 linux-image-aws-64k 6.8.0-1040.42~22.04.1 linux-image-aws-64k-6.8 6.8.0-1040.42~22.04.1 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.
