Urgent Security Advisory for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: Addressing Critical Kernel Vulnerabilities
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-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) 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 corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - Accessibility subsystem; - Android drivers; - Drivers core; - Bluetooth drivers; - Clock framework and drivers; - D...
Read the Full AdvisoryUpdate Instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1011-aws 6.8.0-1011.12 linux-image-aws 6.8.0-1011.12 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.
