========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7889-5 December 05, 2025
linux-ibm-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-ibm-6.8: Linux kernel for IBM cloud 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: - Media drivers; - Network drivers; - Netfilter; - TLS protocol; (CVE-2025-21729, CVE-2025-38227, CVE-2025-38616, CVE-2025-38678) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1041-ibm 6.8.0-1041.41~22.04.1 linux-image-ibm-6.8 6.8.0-1041.41~22.04.1 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.
