Update Summary
USN-8729-1 fixes multiple Linux kernel security issues affecting Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS. A reboot is required after updating, and third-party kernel modules may need to be recompiled because of an ABI change.
Update Details
Security
- Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel, with possible system compromise if exploited.
- Security flaws were corrected across multiple subsystems, including memory management, networking, file systems, Bluetooth, io_uring, netfilter, and drivers.
- An unavoidable ABI change requires recompiling and reinstalling third-party kernel modules after the update.
Hints
- After a standard system update, reboot the computer to apply all changes.
- Because of the ABI change, third-party kernel modules may need to be recompiled and reinstalled.
- Standard upgrades will handle this automatically unless standard kernel metapackages were manually removed.
