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 ARM64 architecture;
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:
