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.

From the original article
It was discovered that some Arm processors could complete a broadcast translation lookaside buffer (TLB) invalidation before memory writes made through the invalidated translation were globally observed. A local attacker could possibly use this to write to memory after permission to do so had been revoked, bypassing memory protections or escalating privileges.
