Bug Description

The packages listed above are vulnerable to the CVEs below in at least one Ubuntu release, as stated in the Ubuntu CVE Tracker, except for linux-azure-4.15, linux-dell300x, linux-gcp-4.15 and linux-snapdragon, that are only vulnerable to CVE-2022-23041.

Please release fixed packages.

Xen released a security advisory on March 10.

(I was informed by the security team that it does not track security issues via Launchpad bugs, but in the Ubuntu CVE Tracker. However, the issue is unpatched for over 2.5 months and marked as needed for these combinations of source package and Ubuntu version in the Tracker, and therefore I am filing this bug.)
