USN-8145-5: Linux kernel (Azure) vulnerabilities
Publication date
15 April 2026
Overview
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Releases
18.04 LTS 14.04 LTS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open side navigation
Packages
o linux-azure - Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems
o linux-azure-4.15 - Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems
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 UDF file system;
o NFC subsystem;
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:
