Ubuntu 22.04 LTS USN-6895-3: High Severity Kernel Issues

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6895-3 July 19, 2024 linux-aws-6.5, linux-lowlatency-hwe-6.5, linux-oracle-6.5, linux-starfive-6.5 vulnerabilities ========================================================================== 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-6.5: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-lowlatency-hwe-6.5: Linux low latency kernel - linux-oracle-6.5: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-starfive-6.5: Linux kernel for StarFive processors Details: It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6270) It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux Kernel contained a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-0841) It was discovered that the Open vSwitch implementation in the Linux kernel could overflow its stack during recursive action operations under certain conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-1151) 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) Bai Jiaju discovered that the Xceive XC4000 silicon tuner device driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).(CVE-2024-24861) 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: - ARM64 architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - x86 architecture; - Cryptographic API; - Android drivers; - Block layer subsystem; - Bluetooth drivers; - DMA engine subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - I2C subsystem; - IIO ADC drivers; - IIO subsystem; - IIO Magnetometer sensors drivers; - InfiniBand drivers; - On-Chip Interconnect management framework; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - Network drivers; - PHY drivers; - MediaTek PM domains; - SCSI drivers; - TTY drivers; - USB subsystem; - DesignWare USB3 driver; - Framebuffer layer; - AFS file system; - BTRFS file system; - Ceph distributed file system; - Ext4 file system; - File systems infrastructure; - NILFS2 file system; - NTFS3 file system; - SMB network file system; - Core kernel; - Memory management; - Bluetooth subsystem; - CAN network layer; - Devlink API; - Handshake API; - HSR network protocol; - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - MAC80211 subsystem; - Multipath TCP; - Netfilter; - NFC subsystem; - RxRPC session sockets; - TIPC protocol; - Unix domain sockets; - Realtek audio codecs; (CVE-2024-26922, CVE-2024-26691, CVE-2024-26698, CVE-2024-26696, CVE-2024-26688, CVE-2024-26734, CVE-2024-26660, CVE-2024-26736, CVE-2024-26600, CVE-2024-26826, CVE-2024-26890, CVE-2023-52643, CVE-2024-26917, CVE-2024-26676, CVE-2024-26916, CVE-2024-26919, CVE-2024-26662, CVE-2024-26714, CVE-2023-52880, CVE-2024-26679, CVE-2024-26711, CVE-2024-26707, CVE-2024-26735, CVE-2023-52631, CVE-2024-26694, CVE-2023-52637, CVE-2024-26830, CVE-2024-26675, CVE-2024-26715, CVE-2024-26642, CVE-2024-26659, CVE-2024-26838, CVE-2024-26926, CVE-2024-26684, CVE-2024-26716, CVE-2024-26825, CVE-2024-26664, CVE-2024-26666, CVE-2024-26820,CVE-2024-26680, CVE-2024-26681, CVE-2024-26829, CVE-2024-26748, CVE-2024-26920, CVE-2024-26593, CVE-2024-26831, CVE-2024-26703, CVE-2024-35833, CVE-2024-26697, CVE-2023-52638, CVE-2024-26665, CVE-2024-26603, CVE-2024-26602, CVE-2024-26824, CVE-2024-26710, CVE-2024-26828, CVE-2024-26790, CVE-2024-26722, CVE-2024-26803, CVE-2024-26798, CVE-2024-27416, CVE-2024-26661, CVE-2024-26677, CVE-2024-26720, CVE-2024-26695, CVE-2024-26726, CVE-2024-26723, CVE-2024-26889, CVE-2024-26702, CVE-2024-26606, CVE-2024-26792, CVE-2024-26733, CVE-2024-26782, CVE-2024-26923, CVE-2023-52645, CVE-2024-26700, CVE-2024-26898, CVE-2024-26822, CVE-2024-26712, CVE-2023-52642, CVE-2024-26601, CVE-2024-26667, CVE-2024-26910, CVE-2024-26818, CVE-2024-26689, CVE-2024-26708, CVE-2024-26663, CVE-2024-26802, CVE-2024-26717, CVE-2024-26719, CVE-2024-26718, CVE-2024-26685, CVE-2024-26789, CVE-2024-26693, CVE-2024-26674) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-6.5.0-1017-starfive 6.5.0-1017.18~22.04.1 linux-image-6.5.0-1023-aws 6.5.0-1023.23~22.04.1 linux-image-6.5.0-1026-oracle 6.5.0-1026.26~22.04.1 linux-image-6.5.0-1026-oracle-64k 6.5.0-1026.26~22.04.1 linux-image-6.5.0-44-lowlatency 6.5.0-44.44.1~22.04.1 linux-image-6.5.0-44-lowlatency-64k 6.5.0-44.44.1~22.04.1 linux-image-aws 6.5.0.1023.23~22.04.1 linux-image-lowlatency-64k-hwe-22.04 6.5.0.44.44.1~22.04.1 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-22.04 6.5.0.44.44.1~22.04.1 linux-image-oracle 6.5.0.1026.26~22.04.1 linux-image-oracle-64k 6.5.0.1026.26~22.04.1 linux-image-starfive 6.5.0.1017.18~22.04.1 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 manuallyuninstalled 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.
