Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7724-1

linux-oem-6.14 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-oem-6.14: Linux kernel for OEM 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:
- Thunderbolt and USB4 drivers;
- Network traffic control;
(CVE-2025-38350, CVE-2025-38174)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
linux-image-6.14.0-1011-oem 6.14.0-1011.11
linux-image-oem-24.04a 6.14.0-1011.11
linux-image-oem-24.04c 6.14.0-1011.11
linux-image-oem-6.14 6.14.0-1011.11

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.
