(CVE-2022-49026, CVE-2022-49390, CVE-2024-47691, CVE-2024-49935,
CVE-2024-50067, CVE-2024-50095, CVE-2024-50196, CVE-2024-53090,
CVE-2024-53218, CVE-2025-21855, CVE-2025-37958, CVE-2025-38666,
CVE-2025-39964, CVE-2025-39993, CVE-2025-40018)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
linux-image-5.4.0-1151-oracle 5.4.0-1151.161~18.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-oracle 5.4.0.1151.161~18.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-oracle-5.4 5.4.0.1151.161~18.04.1
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.
