linux-aws, linux-oem-6.8 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================<\/p>\n
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:<\/p>\n
– Ubuntu 24.04 LTS<\/p>\n
Summary:<\/p>\n
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.<\/p>\n
Software Description:
– linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
– linux-oem-6.8: Linux kernel for OEM systems<\/p>\n
Details:<\/p>\n
It was discovered that the Intel Data Streaming and Intel Analytics
Accelerator drivers in the Linux kernel allowed direct access to the
devices for unprivileged users and virtual machines. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-21823)<\/p>\n
A security issue was discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use it to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystem:
– Netfilter;
(CVE-2024-26924)<\/p>\n
Update instructions:<\/p>\n
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:<\/p>\n
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
linux-image-6.8.0-1007-oem 6.8.0-1007.7
linux-image-6.8.0-1010-aws 6.8.0-1010.10
linux-image-aws 6.8.0-1010.10
linux-image-oem-24.04 6.8.0-1007.7
linux-image-oem-24.04a 6.8.0-1007.7<\/p>\n
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
