Linux kernel Security Module (LSM). An unprivileged local attacker could
use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor profiles
causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel
memory), local privilege escalation, or possibly escape a container.
(LP: #2143853, CVE-2026-23268, CVE-2026-23269, CVE-2026-23403,
CVE-2026-23404, CVE-2026-23405, CVE-2026-23406, CVE-2026-23407,
CVE-2026-23408, CVE-2026-23409, CVE-2026-23410, CVE-2026-23411)

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:
- ARM64 architecture;
- x86 architecture;
- Cryptographic API;
- GPU drivers;
- I2C subsystem;
- BTRFS file system;
- XFRM subsystem;
- Padata parallel execution mechanism;
- IPv4 networking;
- IPv6 networking;
- MAC80211 subsystem;
- Netfilter;
- Network traffic control;
- SMC sockets;
(CVE-2021-47599, CVE-2022-48875, CVE-2022-49046, CVE-2022-49698,

CVE-2026-23060, CVE-2026-23074)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
linux-image-5.4.0-1116-bluefield 5.4.0-1116.123
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-bluefield 5.4.0.1116.112
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-bluefield-5.4 5.4.0.1116.112
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.
