==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 23.10
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel
- linux-lowlatency-hwe-6.5: Linux low latency 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 subsystem:
- Netfilter;
(CVE-2024-26809, CVE-2024-26643, CVE-2024-26925, CVE-2024-26924)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 23.10
linux-image-6.5.0-42-lowlatency 6.5.0-42.42.1
linux-image-6.5.0-42-lowlatency-64k 6.5.0-42.42.1
linux-image-lowlatency 6.5.0.42.42.1
linux-image-lowlatency-64k 6.5.0.42.42.1
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
linux-image-6.5.0-42-lowlatency 6.5.0-42.42.1~22.04.1
linux-image-6.5.0-42-lowlatency-64k 6.5.0-42.42.1~22.04.1
linux-image-lowlatency-64k-hwe-22.04 6.5.0.42.42.1~22.04.1
linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-22.04 6.5.0.42.42.1~22.04.1
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.
