Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7003-5
October 01, 2024

linux-raspi-5.4 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-raspi-5.4: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems

Details:

It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read
vulnerability when printing xattr debug information. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-40902)

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:
  - MIPS architecture;
  - PowerPC architecture;
  - x86 architecture;
  - ACPI drivers;
  - Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers;
  - Drivers core;
  - GPIO subsystem;

CVE-2024-42154)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  linux-image-5.4.0-1116-raspi    5.4.0-1116.128~18.04.1
				  Available with Ubuntu Pro
  linux-image-raspi-hwe-18.04     5.4.0.1116.128~18.04.1
				  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.
