USN-8726-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Ubuntu issued kernel security update USN-8726-1 fixing an Arm TLB invalidation flaw (CVE-2025-10263) that enables local privilege escalation, plus other kernel fixes.
Ubuntu released USN-8726-1, a security update for the generic Linux kernel. It fixes CVE-2025-10263, where certain Arm processors complete broadcast TLB invalidation before related memory writes are globally observed, potentially letting local attackers bypass memory protections or escalate privileges. The update also addresses additional kernel flaws in ARM64, ARM32, RISC-V, S390 and other subsystems.
USN-8728-1: Linux kernel (GCP) vulnerabilities
Ubuntu issued kernel security update USN-8728-1 for GCP kernels fixing Arm TLB and AMD Zen 2 privilege escalation flaws (CVE-2025-10263, CVE-2025-54518).
Ubuntu released USN-8728-1, a security update for the Linux kernel used on Google Cloud Platform images. It fixes CVE-2025-10263, where certain Arm processors complete broadcast TLB invalidation before memory writes are globally observed, allowing local attackers to bypass memory protections or escalate privileges, and CVE-2025-54518, an AMD Zen 2 operation cache isolation flaw that can corrupt higher-privilege instructions. The notice also corrects several other kernel security issues.
USN-8727-1: Linux kernel (OEM) vulnerabilities
Ubuntu issued kernel security update USN-8727-1 for OEM kernels, fixing an Arm TLB invalidation flaw (CVE-2025-10263) allowing local privilege escalation.
Ubuntu released USN-8727-1, a security update for the OEM variant of the Linux kernel. It fixes CVE-2025-10263, in which certain Arm processors complete broadcast TLB invalidation before related memory writes are globally observed, potentially letting local attackers bypass memory protections or escalate privileges. The notice also corrects additional kernel flaws across ARM64, ARM32, RISC-V, S390 and other subsystems.
