Ubuntu 22.04 LTS USN-6626-2 Critical: Kernel Denial Of Service

ubuntu
Calendar Grey February 14, 2024
Dist Ubuntu Esm H88
Ubuntu has patched security flaws through kernel updates aimed at mitigating several denial of service risks and breach vulnerabilities.
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Summary

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:

- linux-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel

- linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems

Details:

Quentin Minster discovered that a race condition existed in the KSMBD

implementation in the Linux kernel when handling sessions operations. A

remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)

or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-32250, CVE-2023-32252,

CVE-2023-32257)

Marek Marczykowski-Górecki discovered that the Xen event channel

infrastructure implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race

condition. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a

denial of service (paravirtualized device unavailability). (CVE-2023-34324)

Zheng Wang discovered a use-after-free in the Renesas Ethernet AVB driver

in the Linux kernel during device removal. A privileged attacker could use

this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (C...

Update Instructions

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

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
  linux-image-5.15.0-1046-raspi   5.15.0-1046.49
  linux-image-5.15.0-94-lowlatency  5.15.0-94.104
  linux-image-5.15.0-94-lowlatency-64k  5.15.0-94.104
  linux-image-lowlatency          5.15.0.94.94
  linux-image-lowlatency-64k      5.15.0.94.94
  linux-image-raspi               5.15.0.1046.44
  linux-image-raspi-nolpae        5.15.0.1046.44

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.
