Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Releases

  o Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  o Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  o Ubuntu 16.04 ESM
  o Ubuntu 14.04 ESM

Software Description

  o gcp - Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - (>= 5.4.0-1009)
  o generic-4.15 - Linux kernel - (>= 4.15.0-69)
  o generic-4.4 - Linux kernel - (>= 4.4.0-168, >= 4.4.0-168)
  o generic-5.4 - Linux kernel - (>= 5.4.0-26, >= 5.4.0-26)
  o gke - Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - (>= 5.4.0-1033)
  o gke-4.15 - Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - (>= 4.15.0-1076)

Details

It was discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel did not
properly track bounds information for 32 bit registers when performing div
and mod operations. A local attacker could use this to possibly execute
arbitrary code.( CVE-2021-3600 )

It was discovered that the virtual file system implementation in the Linux
kernel contained an unsigned to signed integer conversion error. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
execute arbitrary code.( CVE-2021-33909 )

Checking update status

The problem can be corrected in these Livepatch versions:
