Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7428-2
April 09, 2025
linux-fips, linux-aws-fips, linux-azure-fips, linux-gcp-fips
vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-aws-fips: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems with FIPS
- linux-azure-fips: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems with FIPS
- linux-fips: Linux kernel with FIPS
- linux-gcp-fips: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems with
FIPS
Details:
Demi Marie Obenour and Simon Gaiser discovered that several Xen para-
virtualization device frontends did not properly restrict the access rights
of device backends. An attacker could possibly use a malicious Xen backend
to gain access to memory pages of a guest VM or cause a denial of service
in the guest. (CVE-2022-23041)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

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.
