Releases 24.04 LTS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open side navigation Packages o linux-aws-fips - Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems with FIPS o linux-fips - Linux kernel with FIPS o linux-gcp-fips - Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems with FIPS 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: o Cryptographic API; o Netfilter; o Network traffic control Update instructions 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. The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu Package Version Release linux-image-6.8.0-1051-aws-fips - 6.8.0-1051.54+fips1 FIPS Updates FIPS-140 certified package with security fixes.
