Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
Cryptographic API;
Arm Firmware Framework for ARMv8-A(FFA);
Multiple devices driver;
Media drivers;
Network drivers;
NVDIMM (Non-Volatile Memory Device) drivers;
NVME drivers;
x86 platform drivers;
TCM subsystem;
Virtio drivers;
File systems infrastructure;
SMB network file system;
LZO compression library;
Digital Audio (PCM) driver;
Tracing infrastructure;
Padata parallel execution mechanism;
CAN network layer;
Networking core;
TIPC protocol;
ALSA framework

Update instructions
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
