security advisorydenial of servicememory accessUbuntu 14.04 LTS: USN-7506-2 critical: aws kernel memory access
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7506-2 May 12, 2025 linux-aws vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems Details: Demi Marie Obenour and Simon Gaiser discovered that several Xen para- virtualization device frontends did not properly restrict the access rights of device backends. An attacker could possibly use a malicious Xen backend to gain access to memory pages of a guest VM or cause a denial of service in the guest. (CVE-2022-23041) 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: - Hardware crypto device drivers; - GPU drivers; - IIO subsystem; - Media drivers; - Network drivers; - SCSI subsystem; - SPI subsystem; - USB Gadget drivers; - Ceph distributed file system; - File systems infrastructure; - JFS file system; - Network file system (NFS) client; - Network file system (NFS) server daemon; - NILFS2 file system; - SMB network file system; - CAN network layer; - IPv6 networking; - MAC80211 subsystem; - Netfilter; - Netlink; - Network traffic control; - SCTP protocol; - TIPC protocol; (CVE-2024-56650, CVE-2024-26915, CVE-2024-50237, CVE-2024-53140, CVE-2024-26996, CVE-2021-47506, CVE-2024-26974, CVE-2025-21971, CVE-2024-56770, CVE-2024-53063, CVE-2021-47245, CVE-2024-36934, CVE-2021-47500, CVE-2024-53173, CVE-2021-47219, CVE-2024-46771, CVE-2024-56631, CVE-2024-46780, CVE-2024-35864, CVE-2021-46959, CVE-2021-47191, CVE-2021-47587, CVE-2024-53066, CVE-2024-56642, CVE-2021-47163, CVE-2024-50256, CVE-2021-47150,CVE-2024-56598, CVE-2024-26689, CVE-2023-52741, CVE-2024-49944) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS linux-image-4.4.0-1143-aws 4.4.0-1143.149 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-aws 4.4.0.1143.140 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.

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.. =========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6044-1 April 26, 2023 linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-5.15, linux-azure, linux-gke, linux-gke-5.15, linux-gkeop, linux-hwe-5.15, linux-ibm, linux-lowlatency, linux-lowlatency-hwe-5.15, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-5.15 vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel - linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems - linux-gke: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-gkeop: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-ibm: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems - linux-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel - linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-aws-5.15: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-gke-5.15: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-hwe-5.15: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel - linux-lowlatency-hwe-5.15: Linux low latency kernel - linux-oracle-5.15: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems Details: It was discovered that the Traffic-Control Index (TCINDEX) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform filter deactivation in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain elevated privileges. Please note that with the fix for this CVE, kernel support for the TCINDEX classifier has been removed. (CVE-2023-1829) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly executearbitrary code.
