The system could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator.
Software Description:
- linux-oem-6.0: Linux kernel for OEM systems
Details:
Davide Ornaghi discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel
did not properly handle VLAN headers in some situations. A local attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code.
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: linux-image-6.0.0-1011-oem 6.0.0-1011.11 linux-image-oem-22.04b 6.0.0.1011.11 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.
