Ubuntu 22.04 LTS USN-6533-1 Critical: Race Conditions in Kernel

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.. ========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6533-1 December 05, 2023 linux-oem-6.1 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-oem-6.1: Linux kernel for OEM systems Details: Tom Dohrmann discovered that the Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) implementation for AMD processors in the Linux kernel contained a race condition when accessing MMIO registers. A local attacker in a SEV guest VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-46813) It was discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-46862) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: linux-image-6.1.0-1027-oem 6.1.0-1027.27 linux-image-oem-22.04 6.1.0.1027.28 linux-image-oem-22.04a 6.1.0.1027.28 linux-image-oem-22.04b 6.1.0.1027.28 linux-image-oem-22.04c 6.1.0.1027.28 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 thisas well.
