linux-lowlatency 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-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel

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:
  - SMB network file system;
  - Netfilter;
  - io_uring subsystem;
(CVE-2024-35862, CVE-2024-50060, CVE-2026-23274, CVE-2026-23351)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  linux-image-5.15.0-178-lowlatency  5.15.0-178.188
  linux-image-5.15.0-178-lowlatency-64k  5.15.0-178.188
  linux-image-lowlatency          5.15.0.178.150
  linux-image-lowlatency-5.15     5.15.0.178.150
  linux-image-lowlatency-64k      5.15.0.178.150
  linux-image-lowlatency-64k-5.15  5.15.0.178.150

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.
