==========================================================================<\/p>\n
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:<\/p>\n
– Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 18.04 LTS<\/p>\n
Summary:<\/p>\n

Software Description:
– linux-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems
– linux-azure-5.4: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure cloud systems<\/p>\n
Details:<\/p>\n

An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

– Network traffic control;
(CVE-2024-27397, CVE-2024-38630, CVE-2024-45016, CVE-2024-26960)<\/p>\n
Update instructions:<\/p>\n
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:<\/p>\n
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
linux-image-5.4.0-1139-azure 5.4.0-1139.146
linux-image-azure-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1139.133<\/p>\n
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
linux-image-5.4.0-1139-azure 5.4.0-1139.146~18.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-azure 5.4.0.1139.146~18.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro<\/p>\n
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
