Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: 6927-1 Moderate: Linux Kernel Denial of Service

ubuntu
Calendar Grey July 30, 2024
Dist Ubuntu Esm H88
A variety of vulnerabilities within the Linux kernel have been addressed in this latest update for Ubuntu. Protect your system immediately.
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Summary

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:

- linux-gcp-5.15: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems

Details:

Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not

properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer

dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to

cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38096)

Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel

contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A

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

(system crash). (CVE-2024-23307)

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)

Update Instructions

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

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
  linux-image-5.15.0-1065-gcp     5.15.0-1065.73~20.04.1
  linux-image-gcp                 5.15.0.1065.73~20.04.1

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.
