[Ubuntu Security Notices](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices) 2. USN-7159-5 --- # USN-7159-5: Linux kernel (Raspberry Pi) vulnerabilities Publication date 6 January 2025 Overview Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Releases [18.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=bionic) --- Open side navigation ## Packages * [linux-raspi-5.4](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=linux-raspi-5.4) - Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 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: * ARM32 architecture; * ARM64 architecture; * S390 architecture; * x86 architecture; * Power management core; * GPU drivers; * InfiniBand drivers; * Network drivers; * S/390 drivers; * TTY drivers; * BTRFS file system; * EROFS file system; * F2FS file system; * File systems infrastructure; * BPF subsystem; * Socket messages infrastructure; * Bluetooth subsystem; * Ethernet bridge; * Networking core; * IPv4 networking; * SELinux security module ## Update instructions After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes. [Learn more about how to get the fixes.](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) 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. The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: | Ubuntu Release | Package Version | | --- | --- | | 18.04 LTS bionic | [linux-image-5.4.0-1120-raspi](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-raspi-5.4) –  5.4.0-1120.132~18.04.1   Ubuntu Pro | | | | [linux-image-raspi-hwe-18.04](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-raspi-5.4) –  5.4.0.1120.132~18.04.1   Ubuntu Pro | | | --- ### Reduce your security exposure Ubuntu Pro provides ten-year security coverage to 25,000+ packages in Main and Universe repositories, and it is free for up to five machines.
