Ubuntu Security Advisory USN-6950-2: Important Kernel Vulnerabilities Fixed
Summary
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-ibm: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems - linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems - linux-aws-5.15: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-gkeop-5.15: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-ibm-5.15: Linux kernel for IBM cloud 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; - Block layer subsystem; - Bluetooth drivers; - Clock framework and drivers; - FireWire subsystem; - GPU drivers; - InfiniBand drivers; - Multiple devices driver; - EEPROM drivers; - Network drivers; - Pin controllers subsystem; ...
Read the Full AdvisoryUpdate Instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS linux-image-5.15.0-1060-ibm 5.15.0-1060.63 linux-image-5.15.0-1060-raspi 5.15.0-1060.63 linux-image-ibm 5.15.0.1060.56 linux-image-raspi 5.15.0.1060.58 linux-image-raspi-nolpae 5.15.0.1060.58 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS linux-image-5.15.0-1050-gkeop 5.15.0-1050.57~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-1060-ibm 5.15.0-1060.63~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-1067-aws 5.15.0-1067.73~20.04.1 linux-image-aws 5.15.0.1067.73~20.04.1 linux-image-gkeop-5.15 5.15.0.1050.57~20.04.1 linux-image-ibm 5.15.0.1060.63~20.04.1 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.
