Details:<\/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;
– MMC subsystem;
– Network drivers;
– SCSI drivers;
– GFS2 file system;
– IPv4 networking;
– IPv6 networking;
– HD-audio driver;
(CVE-2024-26830, CVE-2024-39484, CVE-2024-36901, CVE-2024-26929,
CVE-2024-26921, CVE-2021-46926, CVE-2023-52629, CVE-2023-52760)<\/p>\n
Update instructions:<\/p>\n
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:<\/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
