Critical Security Advisory for Ubuntu 24.04: Linux Kernel Updates
Summary
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel - linux-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems - linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-ibm: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems - linux-intel: Linux kernel for Intel IoT platforms - linux-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel - linux-oem-6.8: Linux kernel for OEM systems - linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems Details: It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-24857, CVE-2024-24858, CVE-2024-24859) Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update ...

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1007-intel 6.8.0-1007.14 linux-image-6.8.0-1007-raspi 6.8.0-1007.7 linux-image-6.8.0-1008-ibm 6.8.0-1008.8 linux-image-6.8.0-1008-oem 6.8.0-1008.8 linux-image-6.8.0-1010-azure 6.8.0-1010.10 linux-image-6.8.0-1010-azure-fde 6.8.0-1010.10 linux-image-6.8.0-1010-gcp 6.8.0-1010.11 linux-image-6.8.0-38-generic 6.8.0-38.38 linux-image-6.8.0-38-generic-64k 6.8.0-38.38 linux-image-6.8.0-38-lowlatency 6.8.0-38.38.1 linux-image-6.8.0-38-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-38.38.1 linux-image-azure 6.8.0-1010.10 linux-image-azure-fde 6.8.0-1010.10 linux-image-gcp 6.8.0-1010.11 linux-image-generic 6.8.0-38.38 linux-image-generic-64k 6.8.0-38.38 linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-38.38 linux-image-generic-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-38.38 linux-image-generic-lpae 6.8.0-38.38 linux-image-ibm 6.8.0-1008.8 linux-image-ibm-classic 6.8.0-1008.8 linux-image-ibm-lts-24.04 6.8.0-1008.8 linux-image-intel 6.8.0-1007.14 linux-image-kvm 6.8.0-38.38 linux-image-lowlatency 6.8.0-38.38.1 linux-image-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-38.38.1 linux-image-oem-24.04 6.8.0-1008.8 linux-image-oem-24.04a 6.8.0-1008.8 linux-image-raspi 6.8.0-1007.7 linux-image-virtual 6.8.0-38.38 linux-image-virtual-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-38.38 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.
