Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7020-1 September 18, 2024 linux, linux-aws, linux-gcp, linux-gke, linux-ibm, linux-lowlatency, linux-lowlatency-hwe-6.8, linux-nvidia, linux-nvidia-6.8, linux-nvidia-lowlatency, linux-oem-6.8, linux-oracle vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 24.04 LTS - Ubuntu 22.04 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-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-gke: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-ibm: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems - linux-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel - linux-nvidia: Linux kernel for NVIDIA systems - linux-nvidia-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel for NVIDIA systems - linux-oem-6.8: Linux kernel for OEM systems - linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-lowlatency-hwe-6.8: Linux low latency kernel - linux-nvidia-6.8: Linux kernel for NVIDIA systems Details: 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: - GPU drivers; - Network drivers; - SCSI drivers; - F2FS file system; - BPF subsystem; - IPv4 networking; (CVE-2024-42160, CVE-2024-42159, CVE-2024-42154, CVE-2024-41009, CVE-2024-42228, CVE-2024-42224) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1011-gke 6.8.0-1011.14 linux-image-6.8.0-1013-ibm 6.8.0-1013.13 linux-image-6.8.0-1013-oem 6.8.0-1013.13 linux-image-6.8.0-1013-oracle 6.8.0-1013.13 linux-image-6.8.0-1013-oracle-64k 6.8.0-1013.13 linux-image-6.8.0-1014-nvidia 6.8.0-1014.15 linux-image-6.8.0-1014-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1014.15 linux-image-6.8.0-1014-nvidia-lowlatency 6.8.0-1014.15.1 linux-image-6.8.0-1014-nvidia-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-1014.15.1 linux-image-6.8.0-1015-gcp 6.8.0-1015.17 linux-image-6.8.0-1016-aws 6.8.0-1016.17 linux-image-6.8.0-45-generic 6.8.0-45.45 linux-image-6.8.0-45-generic-64k 6.8.0-45.45 linux-image-6.8.0-45-lowlatency 6.8.0-45.45.1 linux-image-6.8.0-45-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-45.45.1 linux-image-aws 6.8.0-1016.17 linux-image-gcp 6.8.0-1015.17 linux-image-generic 6.8.0-45.45 linux-image-generic-64k 6.8.0-45.45 linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-45.45 linux-image-generic-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-45.45 linux-image-generic-lpae 6.8.0-45.45 linux-image-gke 6.8.0-1011.14 linux-image-ibm 6.8.0-1013.13 linux-image-ibm-classic 6.8.0-1013.13 linux-image-ibm-lts-24.04 6.8.0-1013.13 linux-image-kvm 6.8.0-45.45 linux-image-lowlatency 6.8.0-45.45.1 linux-image-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-45.45.1 linux-image-nvidia 6.8.0-1014.15 linux-image-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1014.15 linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency 6.8.0-1014.15.1 linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-1014.15.1 linux-image-oem-24.04 6.8.0-1013.13 linux-image-oem-24.04a 6.8.0-1013.13 linux-image-oracle 6.8.0-1013.13 linux-image-oracle-64k 6.8.0-1013.13 linux-image-virtual 6.8.0-45.45 linux-image-virtual-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-45.45 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1014-nvidia 6.8.0-1014.15~22.04.1 linux-image-6.8.0-1014-nvidia-64k 6.8.0-1014.15~22.04.1 linux-image-6.8.0-45-lowlatency 6.8.0-45.45.1~22.04.1 linux-image-6.8.0-45-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-45.45.1~22.04.1 linux-image-lowlatency-64k-hwe-22.04 6.8.0-45.45.1~22.04.1 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-22.04 6.8.0-45.45.1~22.04.1 linux-image-nvidia-6.8 6.8.0-1014.15~22.04.1 linux-image-nvidia-64k-6.8 6.8.0-1014.15~22.04.1 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.
