linux-azure-fde vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-azure-fde: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure CVM cloud 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:
  - GPU drivers;
  - BTRFS file system;
  - F2FS file system;
  - GFS2 file system;
  - BPF subsystem;
  - Netfilter;
  - RxRPC session sockets;
  - Integrity Measurement Architecture(IMA) framework;
(CVE-2024-27012, CVE-2024-38570, CVE-2024-42228, CVE-2024-41009,
CVE-2024-39494, CVE-2024-42160, CVE-2024-39496, CVE-2024-26677)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  linux-image-5.15.0-1073-azure-fde  5.15.0-1073.82.1
  linux-image-azure-fde-lts-22.04  5.15.0.1073.82.50

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.
