Critical Linux Kernel Security Issues Addressed in Ubuntu USN-6949-2
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-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel - linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems Details: 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: - ARM32 architecture; - ARM64 architecture; - M68K architecture; - OpenRISC architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Accessibility subsystem; - Bluetooth drivers; - Clock framework and drivers; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - DMA engine subsystem; - DPLL subsystem; - FireWire subsystem; - EFI core; - Qualcomm firmware drivers; - GPIO subsystem; - GPU drivers; ...
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-6.8.0-1009-raspi 6.8.0-1009.10 linux-image-6.8.0-40-lowlatency 6.8.0-40.40.1 linux-image-6.8.0-40-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-40.40.1 linux-image-lowlatency 6.8.0-40.40.1 linux-image-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-40.40.1 linux-image-raspi 6.8.0-1009.10 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.
