An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
- Device tree and open firmware driver;

(CVE-2025-37797, CVE-2024-49950, CVE-2024-56748, CVE-2023-52975,
CVE-2024-50073, CVE-2023-52885, CVE-2023-52757, CVE-2024-38541,
CVE-2024-53239, CVE-2024-49883)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
linux-image-4.15.0-1145-oracle 4.15.0-1145.156~16.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-oracle 4.15.0.1145.156~16.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
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.
