Ubuntu 6999-1: Linux kernel Security Advisory 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-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-gke: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-ibm: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems - linux-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel - linux-oem-6.8: Linux kernel for OEM systems - linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems Details: Chenyuan Yang discovered that the CEC driver driver in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-23848) It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when printing xattr debug information. A local attacker co...

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1010-gke 6.8.0-1010.13 linux-image-6.8.0-1012-ibm 6.8.0-1012.12 linux-image-6.8.0-1012-oem 6.8.0-1012.12 linux-image-6.8.0-1012-oracle 6.8.0-1012.12 linux-image-6.8.0-1012-oracle-64k 6.8.0-1012.12 linux-image-6.8.0-1014-gcp 6.8.0-1014.16 linux-image-6.8.0-1015-aws 6.8.0-1015.16 linux-image-6.8.0-44-generic 6.8.0-44.44 linux-image-6.8.0-44-generic-64k 6.8.0-44.44 linux-image-6.8.0-44-lowlatency 6.8.0-44.44.1 linux-image-6.8.0-44-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-44.44.1 linux-image-aws 6.8.0-1015.16 linux-image-gcp 6.8.0-1014.16 linux-image-generic 6.8.0-44.44 linux-image-generic-64k 6.8.0-44.44 linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-44.44 linux-image-generic-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-44.44 linux-image-generic-lpae 6.8.0-44.44 linux-image-gke 6.8.0-1010.13 linux-image-ibm 6.8.0-1012.12 linux-image-ibm-classic 6.8.0-1012.12 linux-image-ibm-lts-24.04 6.8.0-1012.12 linux-image-kvm 6.8.0-44.44 linux-image-lowlatency 6.8.0-44.44.1 linux-image-lowlatency-64k 6.8.0-44.44.1 linux-image-oracle 6.8.0-1012.12 linux-image-oracle-64k 6.8.0-1012.12 linux-image-virtual 6.8.0-44.44 linux-image-virtual-hwe-24.04 6.8.0-44.44 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.
