Kernel question on 22.04.05 LTS

Ubuntu Version

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Desktop Environment (if applicable)

GNOME

Problem Description

Recently been getting the message:
*** Livepatch has fixed vulnerabilities in the running kernel. If there is a new kernel available, upgrade and reboot ***

This is pretty much stock, updated regularly, and used as a headless VM host (KVM/QEMU), on Intel NUC12

$ uname -a
Linux edoras 6.8.0-138-generic #138~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Aug 7 13:43:15 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So what do I need to do?

Chris

Exactly what it says. When the new kernel version that includes fixes applied by livepatch becomes available and gets installed, you should consider rebooting into this new version.
