========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6926-1 July 29, 2024 linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-hwe, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-4.15, linux-hwe, linux-kvm, linux-oracle vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel - linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-gcp-4.15: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments - linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-aws-hwe: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS-HWE) systems - linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-hwe: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel Details: 黄思聪 discovered that the NFC Controller Interface (NCI) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain memory allocation failure conditions, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-46343) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-24857, CVE-2024-24858, CVE-2024-24859) Chenyuan Yang discovered that the Unsorted Block Images (UBI) flash device volume management subsystem did not properly validate logical eraseblock sizes in certain situations. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-25739) Supraja Sridhara, Benedict Schlüter, Mark Kuhne, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that the Confidential Computing framework in the Linux kernel for x86 platforms did not properly handle 32-bit emulation on TDX and SEV. An attacker with access to the VMM could use this to cause a denial of service (guest crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-25744) Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - I2C subsystem; - MTD block device drivers; - Network drivers; - TTY drivers; - USB subsystem; - File systems infrastructure; - F2FS file system; - SMB network file system; - BPF subsystem; - B.A.T.M.A.N. meshing protocol; - Bluetooth subsystem; - Networking core; - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - Netfilter; - Unix domain sockets; - AppArmor security module; (CVE-2023-52435, CVE-2024-27013, CVE-2024-35984, CVE-2023-52620, CVE-2024-35997, CVE-2023-52436, CVE-2024-26884, CVE-2024-26901, CVE-2023-52469, CVE-2024-35978, CVE-2024-26886, CVE-2024-35982, CVE-2024-36902, CVE-2024-26857, CVE-2024-26923, CVE-2023-52443, CVE-2024-27020, CVE-2024-36016, CVE-2024-26840, CVE-2024-26934, CVE-2023-52449, CVE-2024-26882, CVE-2023-52444, CVE-2023-52752) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS linux-image-4.15.0-1133-oracle 4.15.0-1133.144 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-4.15.0-1154-kvm 4.15.0-1154.159 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-4.15.0-1164-gcp 4.15.0-1164.181 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-4.15.0-1170-aws 4.15.0-1170.183 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-4.15.0-227-generic 4.15.0-227.239 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-4.15.0-227-lowlatency 4.15.0-227.239 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-aws-lts-18.04 4.15.0.1170.168 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-gcp-lts-18.04 4.15.0.1164.177 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-generic 4.15.0.227.211 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-kvm 4.15.0.1154.145 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-lowlatency 4.15.0.227.211 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-oracle-lts-18.04 4.15.0.1133.138 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-virtual 4.15.0.227.211 Available with Ubuntu Pro Ubuntu 16.04 LTS linux-image-4.15.0-1133-oracle 4.15.0-1133.144~16.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-4.15.0-1164-gcp 4.15.0-1164.181~16.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-4.15.0-1170-aws 4.15.0-1170.183~16.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-4.15.0-227-generic 4.15.0-227.239~16.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-4.15.0-227-lowlatency 4.15.0-227.239~16.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-aws-hwe 4.15.0.1170.183~16.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-gcp 4.15.0.1164.181~16.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.227.239~16.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-gke 4.15.0.1164.181~16.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.227.239~16.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-oem 4.15.0.227.239~16.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-oracle 4.15.0.1133.144~16.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-virtual-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.227.239~16.04.1 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.
