The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  linux-image-5.4.0-1119-fips     5.4.0-1119.129
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  linux-image-5.4.0-1145-aws-fips  5.4.0-1145.156+fips1
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  linux-image-5.4.0-1148-gcp-fips  5.4.0-1148.157+fips1
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  linux-image-aws-fips            5.4.0.1145.92
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  linux-image-fips                5.4.0.1119.116
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  linux-image-gcp-fips            5.4.0.1148.90
                                  Available with Ubuntu Pro

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
