USN-8152-1: Linux kernel (OEM) vulnerabilities
Publication date
6 April 2026
Overview
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Releases
24.04 LTS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open side navigation
Packages
o linux-oem-6.17 - Linux kernel for OEM systems
Details
It was discovered that some AMD Zen 5 processors supporting RDSEED
instruction did not properly handle entropy, potentially resulting in the
consumption of insufficiently random values. A local attacker could
possibly use this issue to influence the values returned by the RDSEED
instruction causing loss of confidentiality and integrity. ( CVE-2025-62626 )
Qualys discovered that several vulnerabilities existed in the AppArmor
Linux kernel Security Module (LSM). An unprivileged local attacker could
use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor profiles
causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel
memory), local privilege escalation, or possibly escape a container.
(LP: #2143853, CVE-2026-23268 , CVE-2026-23269 , CVE-2026-23403 ,

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 Release Package Version
linux-image-6.17.0-1017-oem - 6.17.0-1017.17
linux-image-oem-24.04 - 6.17.0-1017.17
linux-image-oem-24.04a - 6.17.0-1017.17
24.04 LTS noble linux-image-oem-24.04b - 6.17.0-1017.17
linux-image-oem-24.04c - 6.17.0-1017.17
