Ubuntu 7069-1: Linux kernel Security Advisory Updates
Summary
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 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-azure-4.15: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems - linux-gcp-4.15: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments - linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-aws-hwe: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS-HWE) systems - linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-hwe: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel 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: - x86 architecture; - Cryptographic API; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - HW tracing; - ISDN/mISDN subsystem; - Media drivers; - Network drivers; - NVME drivers; - S/390 drivers; - SCSI drivers; - USB subsystem; - VFIO drivers; - Watchdog drivers; - JFS file system; - IRQ subsystem; - Core kernel; - Memory management; - Amateur Radio drivers; - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - IUCV driver; - Network traffic control; - TIPC protocol; - XFRM subsystem; - Integrity Measurement Architecture(IMA) framework; - SoC Audio for Freescale CPUs drivers; - USB sound devices; (CVE-2024-36971, CVE-2024-42271, CVE-2024-38630, CVE-2024-38602, CVE-2024-42223, CVE-2024-44940, CVE-2023-52528, CVE-2024-41097, CVE-2024-27051, CVE-2024-42157, CVE-2024-46673, CVE-2024-39494, CVE-2024-42089, CVE-2024-41073, CVE-2024-26810, CVE-2024-26960, CVE-2024-38611, CVE-2024-31076, CVE-2024-26754, CVE-2023-52510, CVE-2024-40941, CVE-2024-45016, CVE-2024-38627, CVE-2024-38621, CVE-2024-39487, CVE-2024-27436, CVE-2024-40901, CVE-2024-26812, CVE-2024-42244, CVE-2024-42229, CVE-2024-43858, CVE-2024-42280, CVE-2024-26641, CVE-2024-42284, CVE-2024-26602)

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.
