USN-8818-2: Linux kernel (IBM) vulnerabilities
Publication date
25 September 2026
Overview
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Releases
Packages
- linux-ibm-5.15 - Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems
Details
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so had been revoked, bypassing memory protections or escalating privileges.
(CVE-2025-10263)
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:
- ARM64 architecture;
- InfiniBand drivers;
- Network drivers;
- TCM subsystem;
- exFAT file system;
- Network file system (NFS) client;
- Network file system (NFS) server daemon;
- B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol;
- IPv4 networking;
- IPv6 networking;
- Netfilter;
- RDS...

Update instructions
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
Learn more about how to get the fixes.The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
| Ubuntu Release | Package Version | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 20.04 LTS focal | linux-image-5.15.0-1110-ibm – 5.15.0-1110.114~20.04.1 | ||
| linux-image-ibm – 5.15.0.1110.114~20.04.1 | |||
| linux-image-ibm-5.15 – 5.15.0.1110.114~20.04.1 |
Reduce your security exposure
Ubuntu Pro provides ten-year security coverage to 25,000+ packages in Main and Universe repositories, and it is free for up to five machines.
