Ubuntu Security Notice 6895-2 - It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux Kernel contained a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6895-2
July 16, 2024
linux-azure-6.5, linux-gcp-6.5 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-azure-6.5: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure cloud systems
- linux-gcp-6.5: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
Details:
It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux
kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free
vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6270)
It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux
Kernel contained a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged
attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-0841)
It was discovered that the Open vSwitch implementation in the Linux kernel
could overflow its stack during recursive action operations under certain
conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2024-1151)
Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel
contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A
privileged attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2024-23307)
Bai Jiaju discovered that the Xceive XC4000 silicon tuner device driver in
the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow
vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24861)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
linux-image-6.5.0-1024-azure 6.5.0-1024.25~22.04.1
linux-image-6.5.0-1024-azure-fde 6.5.0-1024.25~22.04.1
linux-image-6.5.0-1024-gcp 6.5.0-1024.26~22.04.1
linux-image-azure 6.5.0.1024.25~22.04.1
linux-image-azure-fde 6.5.0.1024.25~22.04.1
linux-image-gcp 6.5.0.1024.26~22.04.1
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.
