Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7754-2
September 17, 2025

linux-aws-fips, linux-fips, linux-gcp-fips vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-aws-fips: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems with FIPS
- linux-fips: Linux kernel with FIPS
- linux-gcp-fips: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems with
FIPS

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:
- Network traffic control;
(CVE-2025-38350, CVE-2025-37752, CVE-2024-57996)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
linux-image-5.4.0-1124-fips 5.4.0-1124.134
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-5.4.0-1150-aws-fips 5.4.0-1150.160+fips1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-5.4.0-1153-gcp-fips 5.4.0-1153.162+fips1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-aws-fips 5.4.0.1150.97
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-aws-fips-5.4 5.4.0.1150.97
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-fips 5.4.0.1124.121
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-fips-5.4 5.4.0.1124.121
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-gcp-fips 5.4.0.1153.95

linux-image-gcp-fips-5.4 5.4.0.1153.95
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.
