Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Summary

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-aws-fips: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems with FIPS - linux-fips: Linux kernel with FIPS - linux-gcp-fips: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems with FIPS Details: Qualys discovered that several vulnerabilities existed in the AppArmor Linux kernel Security Module (LSM). An unprivileged local attacker could use these issues to load, replace, and remove arbitrary AppArmor profiles causing denial of service, exposure of sensitive information (kernel memory), local privilege escalation, or possibly escape a container. (LP: #2143853) 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: - PowerPC architecture; - x86 architecture; -...

Update Instructions

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-5.15.0-1103-aws-fips 5.15.0-1103.110+fips1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-5.15.0-1103-gcp-fips 5.15.0-1103.112+fips1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-5.15.0-173-fips 5.15.0-173.183+fips1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-aws-fips 5.15.0.1103.99 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-aws-fips-5.15 5.15.0.1103.99 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-fips 5.15.0.173.100 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-fips-5.15 5.15.0.173.100 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-gcp-fips 5.15.0.1103.93 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-gcp-fips-5.15 5.15.0.1103.93 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.
