linux-realtime-6.14 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-realtime-6.14: Linux kernel for Real-time 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:
- Cryptographic API;
- Media drivers;
- Netfilter;
- TLS protocol;
(CVE-2025-39946, 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 24.04 LTS
linux-image-6.14.0-1017-realtime 6.14.0-1017.17~24.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-realtime-6.14 6.14.0-1017.17~24.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-realtime-hwe-24.04 6.14.0-1017.17~24.04.1
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.
