USN-8905-2: Linux kernel (GCP) vulnerabilities
Ubuntu patched GCP Linux kernel vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to compromise the system.
Ubuntu published USN-8905-2 for vulnerabilities in its Google Cloud Platform Linux kernel packages. The fixes address issues in ARM, ARM64, MIPS, and x86 code plus drivers such as GPU, HID, networking, InfiniBand, Intel NPU, Mellanox, and the Microsoft Azure Network Adapter. Ubuntu warns that an attacker could possibly compromise the system. No CVE IDs or in-the-wild exploitation are stated in the excerpt.
- USN-8905-2 updates the Ubuntu Linux kernel packages for GCP.
- Patched areas include CPU architectures and numerous device drivers.
- Impact described is possible system compromise, not confirmed attacks.
- No CVE identifiers appear in the published excerpt.
