linux vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux: Linux kernel
Details:
It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly clear data in
the floating point divider unit during speculative execution. A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2025-54505)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
linux-image-7.0.0-27-generic 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-7.0.0-27-generic-64k 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-generic 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-generic-64k 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-generic-64k-7.0 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-26.04 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-generic-7.0 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-generic-hwe-26.04 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-oem-24.04 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-oem-24.04a 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-oem-24.04b 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-oem-24.04c 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-oem-24.04d 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-virtual 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-virtual-7.0 7.0.0-27.27
linux-image-virtual-hwe-26.04 7.0.0-27.27
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
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.
