Ubuntu 7181 Published by

Ubuntu issued a series of security notices, addressing multiple flaws across the Yelp help browser, the node-follow-redirects module, the libgit2 library, and the Linux kernel. The patches correct weaknesses that could let attackers steal credentials via improperly stripped HTTP redirect headers, expose user data through lax content security policies in help documents, or trigger crashes and arbitrary code execution through malformed Git protocol packets. Kernel updates cover dozens of cloud, IoT, and real-time variants for Ubuntu 14.04 through 26.04 LTS, and the required system reboot combined with an ABI change means users must reinstall any third-party kernel modules they previously compiled.

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.

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems

Details:

Siebe Devroe, Héloïse Gollier, and Mathy Vanhoef discovered that the WiFi
implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle aggregated
frames in mesh networks, due to an incorrect fix for CVE-2020-24588. A
physically proximate attacker could use this issue to inject packets.
(CVE-2025-27558)

It was discovered that a logic flaw existed in the XFRM ESP-in-TCP
subsystem in the Linux kernel when handling socket buffer fragments. This
flaw is known as Fragnesia. A local attacker could use this to escalate
privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-43503)

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:
- x86 architecture;
- Cryptographic API;
- GPU drivers;
- InfiniBand drivers;
- Media drivers;
- NVIDIA Tegra memory controller driver;
- Network drivers;
- STMicroelectronics network drivers;
- NVME drivers;
- SCSI subsystem;
- Thermal drivers;
- USB over IP driver;
- Ext4 file system;
- Network file system (NFS) server daemon;
- SMB network file system;
- IPv4 networking;
- Network traffic control;
- TCP network protocol;
- Tracing infrastructure;
- Locking primitives;
- B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol;
- Ethernet bridge;
- Ceph Core library;
- DCCP (Datagram Congestion Control Protocol);
- IPv6 networking;
- Multipath TCP;
- Netfilter;
- RxRPC session sockets;
- SCTP protocol;
- SMC sockets;
- X.25 network layer;

CVE-2026-53225, CVE-2026-53228, CVE-2026-53359)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
linux-image-4.15.0-1205-azure 4.15.0-1205.220~14.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-azure 4.15.0.1205.220~14.04.1
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.

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.
