What Changed
Canonical published Livepatch version 122 coverage for 150 kernel CVEs across the listed Ubuntu release and kernel-type combinations.
What To Validate Now
- Inventory. Locate Canonical Livepatch kernel variants listed in LSN-0122-1 for Ubuntu 26.04 (resolute) LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 (noble) LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy) LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 (focal) ESM, Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) ESM; record versions, enabled features, exposure paths, owners, dependencies, support channels, and maintenance groups.
- Establish applicability. Compare every deployment with the authority's affected statement: Only the kernel types, Ubuntu releases, and Livepatch levels explicitly listed by LSN-0122-1; validate each host with canonical-livepatch status. Do not infer applicability from product family, CVSS, or Internet reachability alone.
- Remediate. Apply bionic: aws Livepatch 122.1 / bionic: azure-4.15 Livepatch 122.1 / bionic: gcp-4.15 Livepatch 122.1 / bionic: generic-4.15 Livepatch 122.1 / bionic: lowlatency-4.15 Livepatch 122.1 / bionic: generic-5.4 Livepatch 122.1 / bionic: lowlatency-5.4 Livepatch 122.1 / bionic: oracle Livepatch 122.1 / focal: generic-5.4 Livepatch 122.1 / focal: lowlatency-5.4 Livepatch 122.1 / jammy: aws Livepatch 122.4 / jammy: aws-6.8 Livepatch 122.1 / jammy: azure Livepatch 122.4 / jammy: gcp Livepatch 122.4 / jammy: gcp-6.8 Livepatch 122.1 / jammy: linux Livepatch 122.4 / jammy: linux Livepatch 122.4 / jammy: hwe-6.8 Livepatch 122.2 / jammy: gke Livepatch 122.4 / jammy: ibm Livepatch 122.4 / jammy: ibm-6.8 Livepatch 122.1 / jammy: lowlatency Livepatch 122.1 / noble: aws Livepatch 122.1 / noble: azure Livepatch 122.1 / noble: gcp Livepatch 122.1 / noble: linux Livepatch 122.2 / noble: gke Livepatch 122.1 / noble: ibm Livepatch 122.1 / noble: oracle Livepatch 122.1 / resolute: aws Livepatch 122.1 / resolute: azure Livepatch 122.1 / resolute: gcp Livepatch 122.1 / resolute: linux Livepatch 122.1 / xenial: aws-hwe Livepatch 122.1 / xenial: aws Livepatch 122.1 / xenial: azure Livepatch 122.1 / xenial: gcp Livepatch 122.1 / xenial: generic-4.15 Livepatch 122.1 / xenial: lowlatency-4.15 Livepatch 122.1 / xenial: generic-4.4 Livepatch 122.1 / xenial: lowlatency-4.4 Livepatch 122.1 through the authority-supported channel and follow the current advisory.
- Validate. Confirm the resulting Livepatch build or managed state, exercise representative services and recovery paths, monitor for regressions, and retain the result.
- Retain evidence. Preserve asset and owner identifiers, the applicability decision, before-and-after versions, change approval, installation output, validation results, and any exception or rollback record.
Operational Cautions
Use canonical-livepatch status to match the running kernel type and installed patch level to the authority table; do not substitute a package version for the Livepatch version. Preserve pre-change state, installation output, logs, validation evidence, and rollback decisions.
Evidence To Retain
- Exact product, release stream, package or application version, enabled feature, environment, and accountable owner.
- UTC timestamps, authority revision, approved change record, installer or package-manager output, and resulting version.
- Relevant logs and monitoring evidence, test results, exceptions, compensating controls, and rollback decisions.
