Canonical released a new Linux kernel live patch for its long-term supported Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS operating system series to address a single security vulnerability.

This new Linux kernel live patch security update comes hot on the heels of the latest Linux kernel security updates released by Canonical last week for all supported Ubuntu Linux releases.

It’s available for users of the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa) and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) operating systems who use the Canonical Livepatch Service for rebootless kernel updates and fixes a single security vulnerability.
