Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7935-1
December 15, 2025
linux-azure, linux-azure-6.8 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems
- linux-azure-6.8: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure cloud systems
Details:
Jean-Claude Graf, Sandro Rüegge, Ali Hajiabadi, and Kaveh Razavi discovered
that the Linux kernel contained insufficient branch predictor isolation
between a guest and a userspace hypervisor for certain processors. This
flaw is known as VMSCAPE. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this
to expose sensitive information from the host OS. (CVE-2025-40300)
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:
- Cryptographic API;
- HSI subsystem;
- Media drivers;
- Network drivers;
- Bluetooth subsystem;
- Timer subsystem;
- Memory management;
- Appletalk network protocol;
- Netfilter;
- TLS protocol;
(CVE-2025-21729, CVE-2025-37838, CVE-2025-37958, CVE-2025-38118,
CVE-2025-38227, CVE-2025-38352, CVE-2025-38616, CVE-2025-38666,
CVE-2025-38678, CVE-2025-39964, CVE-2025-39993, CVE-2025-40018)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
linux-image-6.8.0-1044-azure 6.8.0-1044.50
linux-image-azure-6.8 6.8.0-1044.50
linux-image-azure-lts-24.04 6.8.0-1044.50
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
linux-image-6.8.0-1044-azure 6.8.0-1044.50~22.04.1
linux-image-azure 6.8.0-1044.50~22.04.1
linux-image-azure-6.8 6.8.0-1044.50~22.04.1
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.
