USN-7889-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Publication date: 25 November 2025
Overview: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Packages

linux - Linux kernel
linux-aws - Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
linux-aws-6.8 - Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
linux-ibm - Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems
linux-lowlatency - Linux low latency kernel
linux-lowlatency-hwe-6.8 - Linux low latency kernel
linux-nvidia - Linux kernel for NVIDIA systems
linux-nvidia-6.8 - Linux kernel for NVIDIA systems
linux-nvidia-lowlatency - Linux low latency kernel for NVIDIA systems
linux-oracle - Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems

Details
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:

Media drivers;
Network drivers;
Netfilter;
TLS protocol

Update instructions

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.

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