An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: * Netfilter; * Network traffic control; * VMware vSockets driver ## 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 | | --- | --- | | 22.04 LTS jammy |
