USN-6211-1: Linux kernel (Azure) regression
7 July 2023
The system could show undesired warning messages in certain conditions.
Releases
Packages
- linux-azure - Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems
Details
USN-6130-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. Unfortunately, that
update introduced a spurious warning in the IPv6 subsystem. This update
removes the undesired warning message.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04
-
linux-image-azure
-
4.15.0.1167.133
Available with Ubuntu Pro
-
linux-image-4.15.0-1167-azure
-
4.15.0-1167.182~14.04.1
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.
