(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.
