Update Summary

Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS includes security updates through Aug 4, 2025 and a broad set of bug fixes across desktop, server, cloud, base platform, and hardware support. It also ships updated installation images and kernel-related enablement for supported systems.

Update Details

Security

  • Includes all security updates from Ubuntu Security Notices affecting Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS through Aug 4, 2025.
  • apt: revert increased key size requirements and adjust RSA key handling to avoid breaking repository access.
  • snapd: harden AppArmor path pattern handling by disallowing /. and /.. in path patterns.
  • apparmor: fix regression in get_next_to_profile() return handling.
  • apport: fix SECURITY REGRESSION exception during core dump handling.

Bug Fixes

  • Desktop audio, shell, and window management fixes in PipeWire, Mutter, GNOME Shell, and related components.
  • Fixes for PackageKit uninstallability, update-manager UI/accessibility issues, and Nautilus crashes.
  • Cloud-init and GCE image package fixes for AWS IMDS limitations, mount handling, MAAS tracebacks, and hostname overwrites.
  • Base platform fixes in libvirt, QEMU, systemd, snapd, OpenSSH, ZFS, rsyslog, and netplan.
  • Kernel and hardware support updates for NVIDIA, OEM, Azure, GCP, AWS, Raspberry Pi, and low-latency variants.
  • Firmware updates for Realtek, AMD, Qualcomm, Intel, and other devices.
  • Fixes for fwupd dock firmware updates, openldap timeout behavior, dnsmasq reload crashes, samba GPO crashes, and gvfs encrypted partition mounting.

New Features

  • Updated CD images for installation with improved HWE and RISC-V boot support.
  • software-properties: add support for the Epoxy Ubuntu Cloud Archive on 24.04.
  • update-manager: announce update dialog status and checkbox state for screen readers.
  • ubuntu-drivers-common: add --include-dkms option to driver listing.
  • open-iscsi: add IPv6 support for iBFT iSCSI boot.
  • snapd: add NFS mount support in mount-control and missing dbus link rules for network interfaces.

Hints

  • This summary covers only packages in main and restricted; additional changes exist in universe and multiverse.
  • Several kernel flavors received backported fixes; verify the correct flavor for your deployment before upgrading.
  • Updated installation media are provided, so fresh installs should use the new images rather than 24.04.2 media.
  • Some fixes are backports from upstream or later Ubuntu releases and may affect behavior on specific hardware platforms.
  • For full package-level details, consult the individual changelogs referenced by the release notes.
