========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8277-2 May 22, 2026
linux-oracle-6.17 vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-oracle-6.17: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems Details: It was discovered that the Linux kernel algif_aead module did not properly handle in-place cryptographic operations. This flaw is known as Copy Fail. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges, or possibly escape a container. (CVE-2026-31431) 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: - S390 architecture; - Cryptographic API; - GPU drivers; - Ethernet bonding driver; - Network file system (NFS) server daemon; - Distributed Switch Architecture; - Netfilter; - Control group (cgroup); - Kernel kexec() syscall; - Memory management; - MAC80211 subsystem; - Multipath TCP; - Packet sockets; - TLS protocol; - Unix domain sockets; (CVE-2025-71088, CVE-2025-71090, CVE-2025-71127, CVE-2025-71134, CVE-2025-71139, CVE-2025-71141, CVE-2025-71142, CVE-2025-71144, CVE-2025-71152, CVE-2025-71155, CVE-2026-23274, CVE-2026-23351, CVE-2026-23394, CVE-2026-31419, CVE-2026-31504, CVE-2026-31533, CVE-2026-43033, CVE-2026-43077, CVE-2026-43078) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.17.0-1014-oracle 6.17.0-1014.14~24.04.1 linux-image-6.17.0-1014-oracle-64k 6.17.0-1014.14~24.04.1 linux-image-oracle 6.17.0-1014.14~24.04.1 linux-image-oracle-6.17 6.17.0-1014.14~24.04.1 linux-image-oracle-64k 6.17.0-1014.14~24.04.1 linux-image-oracle-64k-6.17 6.17.0-1014.14~24.04.1 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.
