Notes

mdeslaur

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and older contain a substantially older codebase which would require major intrusive changes to remediate all side-channel attacks. Due to the high risk of regressions, we will not be fixing this issue in focal and older. If this issue is critical in your environment, we recommend migrating to a more recent version of Ubuntu.
