Ubuntu 24.04 LTS USN-7301-1 critical: heap overflow denial of service

ubuntu
Calendar Grey February 25, 2025
Dist Ubuntu Esm H88
Essential kernel patches for Ubuntu address various vulnerabilities impacting both security and reliability. Upgrade promptly.
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Summary

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:

- linux: Linux kernel

- linux-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel

- linux-lowlatency-hwe-6.8: Linux low latency kernel

Details:

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the

Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use

a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a

denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.

(CVE-2025-0927)

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:

- ARM32 architecture;

- x86 architecture;

- Block layer subsystem;

- Cryptographic API;

- ACPI drivers;

- Drivers core;

- ATA over ethernet (AOE) driver;

- Network block device driver;

- TPM device driver;

- Hardware crypto device drivers;

- ARM SC...

Update Instructions

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

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
  linux-image-6.8.0-54-generic    6.8.0-54.56
  linux-image-6.8.0-54-generic-64k  6.8.0-54.56
  linux-image-6.8.0-54-lowlatency  6.8.0-54.56.1
  linux-image-6.8.0-54-lowlatency-64k  6.8.0-54.56.1
  linux-image-generic             6.8.0-54.56
  linux-image-generic-64k         6.8.0-54.56
  linux-image-generic-lpae        6.8.0-54.56
  linux-image-kvm                 6.8.0-54.56
  linux-image-lowlatency          6.8.0-54.56.1
  linux-image-lowlatency-64k      6.8.0-54.56.1
  linux-image-virtual             6.8.0-54.56

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  linux-image-6.8.0-54-lowlatency  6.8.0-54.56.1~22.04.1
  linux-image-6.8.0-54-lowlatency-64k  6.8.0-54.56.1~22.04.1
  linux-image-lowlatency-64k-hwe-22.04  6.8.0-54.56.1~22.04.1
  linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-22.04  6.8.0-54.56.1~22.04.1

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.
