USN-8729-4: Linux kernel (Low Latency) vulnerabilities
Ubuntu fixes multiple Low Latency Linux kernel flaws across architectures, drivers, and filesystems.
Ubuntu published USN-8729-4 for multiple vulnerabilities in the Low Latency Linux kernel. The notice says an attacker could possibly use the issues to compromise a system. Corrected areas include ARM32, ARM64, and PowerPC code, drivers for Bluetooth, GPU, InfiniBand, networking, and the Microsoft Azure Network Adapter, plus SCSI, SPI, NTFS3, SMB, and other filesystem and core subsystems. No CVE identifiers or observed exploitation are included in the text.
- USN-8729-4 targets the Low Latency Linux kernel.
- Fixes span CPU architectures, drivers, filesystems, and core kernel subsystems.
- Named areas include Bluetooth, GPU, InfiniBand, MANA, SCSI, NTFS3, and SMB.
- No CVE IDs or in-the-wild exploitation are stated.
