========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7179-2 January 06, 2025 linux-aws, linux-aws-5.15, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-5.15, linux-hwe-5.15, linux-nvidia, linux-oracle, linux-raspi 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-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-nvidia: Linux kernel for NVIDIA systems - linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems - linux-aws-5.15: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-gcp-5.15: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-hwe-5.15: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel Details: Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the Linux kernel contained a type-confusion error. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-12351) Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth A2MP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-12352) Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth HCI event packet parser in the Linux kernel did not properly handle event advertisements of certain sizes, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-24490) 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; - Media drivers; - Network drivers; - SMB network file system; - Bluetooth subsystem; - Amateur Radio drivers; - Network traffic control; - VMware vSockets driver; (CVE-2024-35963, CVE-2024-38553, CVE-2024-35965, CVE-2024-26822, CVE-2024-35966, CVE-2024-53057, CVE-2024-43904, CVE-2024-50264, CVE-2024-40973, CVE-2024-40910, CVE-2024-35967) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-5.15.0-1070-nvidia 5.15.0-1070.71 linux-image-5.15.0-1070-nvidia-lowlatency 5.15.0-1070.71 linux-image-5.15.0-1070-raspi 5.15.0-1070.73 linux-image-5.15.0-1073-oracle 5.15.0-1073.79 linux-image-5.15.0-1074-gcp 5.15.0-1074.83 linux-image-5.15.0-1076-aws 5.15.0-1076.83 linux-image-aws-lts-22.04 5.15.0.1076.78 linux-image-gcp-lts-22.04 5.15.0.1074.70 linux-image-nvidia 5.15.0.1070.70 linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency 5.15.0.1070.70 linux-image-oracle-lts-22.04 5.15.0.1073.69 linux-image-raspi 5.15.0.1070.68 linux-image-raspi-nolpae 5.15.0.1070.68 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS linux-image-5.15.0-1074-gcp 5.15.0-1074.83~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-1075-aws 5.15.0-1075.82~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-130-generic 5.15.0-130.140~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-130-generic-64k 5.15.0-130.140~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-130-generic-lpae 5.15.0-130.140~20.04.1 linux-image-aws 5.15.0.1075.82~20.04.1 linux-image-gcp 5.15.0.1074.83~20.04.1 linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-20.04 5.15.0.130.140~20.04.1 linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04 5.15.0.130.140~20.04.1 linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-20.04 5.15.0.130.140~20.04.1 linux-image-oem-20.04 5.15.0.130.140~20.04.1 linux-image-oem-20.04b 5.15.0.130.140~20.04.1 linux-image-oem-20.04c 5.15.0.130.140~20.04.1 linux-image-oem-20.04d 5.15.0.130.140~20.04.1 linux-image-virtual-hwe-20.04 5.15.0.130.140~20.04.1 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.
