Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: USN-6820-2 Critical: Multiple Denial Of Service Risks

ubuntu
Calendar Grey June 11, 2024
Dist Ubuntu Esm H88
A series of significant vulnerabilities affecting the Linux kernel on NVIDIA platforms pose threats to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, necessitating prompt patching.
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Summary

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:

- linux-nvidia: Linux kernel for NVIDIA systems

Details:

It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux

kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free

vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or

possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6270)

It was discovered that the Atheros 802.11ac wireless driver did not

properly validate certain data structures, leading to a NULL pointer

dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of

service. (CVE-2023-7042)

It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux

Kernel contained a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged

attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service.

(CVE-2024-0841)

It was discovered that the Intel Data Streaming and Intel Analytics

Accelerator drivers in the Linux kernel allowed di...

Update Instructions

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

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
   linux-image-5.15.0-1058-nvidia  5.15.0-1058.59
   linux-image-5.15.0-1058-nvidia-lowlatency  5.15.0-1058.59
   linux-image-nvidia              5.15.0.1058.58
   linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency   5.15.0.1058.58

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.
