Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6972-2
August 22, 2024<\/p>\n
linux-aws, linux-aws-hwe vulnerabilities
==========================================================================<\/p>\n
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:<\/p>\n
– Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 16.04 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-aws-hwe: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS-HWE) systems<\/p>\n
Details:<\/p>\n
Yuxuan Hu discovered that the Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol driver in the Linux
Kernel contained a race condition, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2024-22099)<\/p>\n
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem
in the Linux kernel, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A
privileged local attacker could use this to possibly cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24860)<\/p>\n
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:
– SuperH RISC architecture;
– User-Mode Linux (UML);
– GPU drivers;
– MMC subsystem;
– Network drivers;
– PHY drivers;
– Pin controllers subsystem;
– Xen hypervisor drivers;
– GFS2 file system;
– Core kernel;
– Bluetooth subsystem;
– IPv4 networking;
– IPv6 networking;
– HD-audio driver;
– ALSA SH drivers;
(CVE-2024-26903, CVE-2024-35835, CVE-2023-52644, CVE-2024-39292,
CVE-2024-36940, CVE-2024-26600, CVE-2023-52629, CVE-2024-35955,
CVE-2023-52760, CVE-2023-52806, CVE-2024-39484, CVE-2024-26679,
CVE-2024-26654, CVE-2024-36901, CVE-2024-26687, CVE-2023-52470)<\/p>\n
Update instructions:<\/p>\n
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:<\/p>\n
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
linux-image-4.15.0-1172-aws 4.15.0-1172.185
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-aws-lts-18.04 4.15.0.1172.170
Available with Ubuntu Pro<\/p>\n
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
linux-image-4.15.0-1172-aws 4.15.0-1172.185~16.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-aws-hwe 4.15.0.1172.185~16.04.1
Available with Ubuntu Pro<\/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
