linux-realtime, linux-realtime-6.8, linux-raspi-realtime 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-raspi-realtime: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi Real-time systems
- linux-realtime: Linux kernel for Real-time systems
- linux-realtime-6.8: Linux kernel for Real-time 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:
- Cryptographic API;
- SMB network file system;
- io_uring subsystem;
(CVE-2025-38561, CVE-2025-39698, CVE-2025-40019)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
linux-image-6.8.0-2036-raspi-realtime 6.8.0-2036.37
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-6.8.1-1040-realtime 6.8.1-1040.41
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-intel-iot-realtime 6.8.1-1040.41
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-raspi-realtime 6.8.0-2036.37
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-raspi-realtime-6.8 6.8.0-2036.37
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-realtime 6.8.1-1040.41
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-realtime-6.8.1 6.8.1-1040.41
Available with Ubuntu Pro

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
linux-image-6.8.1-1040-realtime 6.8.1-1040.41~22.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-realtime-6.8.1 6.8.1-1040.41~22.04.1

linux-image-realtime-hwe-22.04 6.8.1-1040.41~22.04.1
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.
