[USN-7862-3] Linux kernel (Xilinx ZynqMP) vulnerability
==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7862-3
November 13, 2025
linux-xilinx-zynqmp vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Summary:
The system could be made to expose sensitive information.
Software Description:
- linux-xilinx-zynqmp: Linux kernel for Xilinx ZynqMP processors
Details:
Jean-Claude Graf, Sandro Rüegge, Ali Hajiabadi, and Kaveh Razavi discovered
that the Linux kernel contained insufficient branch predictor isolation
between a guest and a userspace hypervisor for certain processors. This
flaw is known as VMSCAPE. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this
to expose sensitive information from the host OS.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
linux-image-5.15.0-1060-xilinx-zynqmp 5.15.0-1060.64
linux-image-xilinx-zynqmp 5.15.0.1060.63
linux-image-xilinx-zynqmp-5.15 5.15.0.1060.63
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.
