Ubuntu 6340-2: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro) Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-gkeop: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems - linux-xilinx-zynqmp: Linux kernel for Xilinx ZynqMP processors - linux-azure-5.4: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure cloud systems - linux-gcp-5.4: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-raspi-5.4: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems Details: Ruihan Li discovered that the bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform permissions checks when handling HCI sockets. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (bluetooth communication). (CVE-2023-2002) Zi Fan Tan discovered that the binder IPC implementation in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerabili...

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1029-xilinx-zynqmp 5.4.0-1029.33 linux-image-5.4.0-1076-gkeop 5.4.0-1076.80 linux-image-5.4.0-1093-raspi 5.4.0-1093.104 linux-image-gkeop 5.4.0.1076.74 linux-image-gkeop-5.4 5.4.0.1076.74 linux-image-raspi 5.4.0.1093.123 linux-image-raspi-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.1093.123 linux-image-raspi2 5.4.0.1093.123 linux-image-raspi2-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.1093.123 linux-image-xilinx-zynqmp 5.4.0.1029.31 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro): linux-image-5.4.0-1093-raspi 5.4.0-1093.104~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1112-gcp 5.4.0-1112.121~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1115-azure 5.4.0-1115.122~18.04.1 linux-image-azure 5.4.0.1115.88 linux-image-gcp 5.4.0.1112.88 linux-image-raspi-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.1093.90 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.
