[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.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: | Ubuntu Release | Package Version | | --- | --- | | 24.04 LTS noble | [linux-image-6.14.0-1006-oem](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-oem-6.14) –  [6.14.0-1006.6](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-oem-6.14/6.14.0-1006.6) | | | | [linux-image-oem-24.04c](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-oem-6.14) –  [6.14.0-1006.6](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-oem-6.14/6.14.0-1006.6) | | | | [linux-image-oem-6.14](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-oem-6.14) –  [6.14.0-1006.6](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-oem-6.14/6.14.0-1006.6) | | | --- ### 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.
