Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8143-2
April 02, 2026

linux-fips vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-fips: Linux kernel 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:
- Cryptographic API;
- GPU drivers;
- BTRFS file system;
- GFS2 file system;
- UDF file system;
- NFC subsystem;
- Network traffic control;
(CVE-2021-47142, CVE-2021-47145, CVE-2021-47254, CVE-2024-46777,
CVE-2025-21735, CVE-2026-23060, CVE-2026-23074)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
linux-image-4.4.0-1123-fips 4.4.0-1123.130
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-fips 4.4.0.1123.124
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.
