(CVE-2024-35896, CVE-2026-23455, CVE-2026-31402, CVE-2026-31607,
CVE-2026-31637, CVE-2026-43011, CVE-2026-43037, CVE-2026-43038,

Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
linux-image-3.13.0-214-generic 3.13.0-214.265
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-3.13.0-214-lowlatency 3.13.0-214.265
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-generic 3.13.0.214.224
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-generic-lts-trusty 3.13.0.214.224
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-lowlatency 3.13.0.214.224
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-server 3.13.0.214.224
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-virtual 3.13.0.214.224
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.
