USN-8180-4: Linux kernel (Azure FIPS) vulnerabilities
Publication date
23 April 2026
Overview
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Releases
22.04 LTS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open side navigation
Packages
o linux-azure-fips - Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud 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 ARM64 architecture;
o Block layer subsystem;
o Drivers core;
o Bluetooth drivers;
o DMA engine subsystem;
o GPU drivers;
o HID subsystem;
o Intel Trace Hub HW tracing drivers;
o IIO ADC drivers;
o IRQ chip drivers;
o Modular ISDN driver;
o LED subsystem;
o UACCE accelerator framework;
o Ethernet bonding driver;
o Network drivers;
o STMicroelectronics network drivers;
o Ethernet team driver;
o NVME drivers;
o PHY drivers;
o SLIMbus drivers;
o W1 Dallas's 1-wire bus driver;
o Xen hypervisor drivers;
o BTRFS file system;
o Ext4 file system;
o Network file system (NFS) client;
o Network file system (NFS) server daemon;
o NTFS3 file system;
o SMB network file system;
o NFC subsystem;
o BPF subsystem;
o IRQ subsystem;
o Memory management;
o Bluetooth subsystem;
o CAN network layer;
o Networking core;
o IPv4 networking;
o IPv6 networking;
o L2TP protocol;
o NET/ROM layer;
o Network traffic control;
o SCTP protocol;
o TLS protocol;
o XFRM subsystem;
o Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi driver;
o USB sound devices
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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-5.15.0-1110-azure-fips - 5.15.0-1110.119+fips1 FIPS
Updates FIPS-140 certified package with security fixes. Available with
22.04 Ubuntu Pro.
LTS linux-image-azure-fips - 5.15.0.1110.95 FIPS Updates FIPS-140
jammy certified package with security fixes. Available with Ubuntu Pro.
linux-image-azure-fips-5.15 - 5.15.0.1110.95 FIPS Updates FIPS-140
certified package with security fixes. Available with Ubuntu Pro.
