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.
