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.

(CVE-2021-33656) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to thefollowing package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1032-ibm 5.4.0-1032.36 linux-image-5.4.0-1045-bluefield 5.4.0-1045.50 linux-image-5.4.0-1052-gkeop 5.4.0-1052.55 linux-image-5.4.0-1074-kvm 5.4.0-1074.79 linux-image-5.4.0-1081-gke 5.4.0-1081.87 linux-image-5.4.0-1082-oracle 5.4.0-1082.90 linux-image-5.4.0-1084-aws 5.4.0-1084.91 linux-image-5.4.0-1087-gcp 5.4.0-1087.95 linux-image-5.4.0-1090-azure 5.4.0-1090.95 linux-image-aws-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1084.84 linux-image-azure-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1090.87 linux-image-bluefield 5.4.0.1045.44 linux-image-gcp-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1087.92 linux-image-gke 5.4.0.1081.89 linux-image-gke-5.4 5.4.0.1081.89 linux-image-gkeop 5.4.0.1052.53 linux-image-gkeop-5.4 5.4.0.1052.53 linux-image-ibm 5.4.0.1032.61 linux-image-ibm-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1032.61 linux-image-kvm 5.4.0.1074.71 linux-image-oracle-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1082.79 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1032-ibm 5.4.0-1032.36~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1082-oracle 5.4.0-1082.90~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1087-gcp 5.4.0-1087.95~18.04.1 linux-image-gcp 5.4.0.1087.66 linux-image-ibm 5.4.0.1032.46 linux-image-oracle 5.4.0.1082.90~18.04.59 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-5294-2 February 22, 2022 linux-aws, linux-aws-5.4, linux-azure, linux-azure-5.4, linux-azure-fde, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-5.4, linux-gkeop, linux-gkeop-5.4, linux-hwe-5.4, linux-ibm, linux-ibm-5.4 linux-oracle, linux-oracle-5.4 vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems - linux-azure-fde: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure cloud systems - linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-gkeop: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-ibm: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems - linux-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments - linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-aws-5.4: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-azure-5.4: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure cloud systems - linux-gcp-5.4: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-gkeop-5.4: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-hwe-5.4: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel - linux-ibm-5.4: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems - linux-oracle-5.4: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems Details: It was discovered that the Packet network protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a double-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-22600) Szymon Heidrich discovered that the USB Gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict the size of control requests for certain gadget types, leading to possible outof bounds reads or writes. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-39685) Jann Horn discovered a race condition in the Unix domain socket implementation in the Linux kernel that could result in a read-after-free. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-4083) Kirill Tkhai discovered that the XFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not calculate size correctly when pre-allocating space in some situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2021-4155) Lin Ma discovered that the NFC Controller Interface (NCI) implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-4202) Brendan Dolan-Gavitt discovered that the aQuantia AQtion Ethernet device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate meta-data coming from the device. A local attacker who can control an emulated device can use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-43975) Sushma Venkatesh Reddy discovered that the Intel i915 graphics driver in the Linux kernel did not perform a GPU TLB flush in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-0330) It was discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain failure conditions, leading to a stale entry in the file descriptor table. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly gain administrative privileges.
