Ubuntu Security Notice 5092-3 - USN-5092-2 fixed vulnerabilities in Linux 5.11-based kernels. Unfortunately, for Linux kernels intended for use within Microsoft Azure environments, that update introduced a regression that could cause the kernel to fail to boot in large Azure instance types. This update fixes the problem. Various other issues were also addressed.

24c408984ea4c4c10e651302744cddabd5b13c5cce9576cf919599003f060a83Ubuntu Security Notice 5106-1 - Valentina Palmiotti discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel could be coerced to free adjacent memory. A local attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly enforce certain types of entries in the Secure Boot Forbidden Signature Database protection mechanism. An attacker could use this to bypass UEFI Secure Boot restrictions. Various other issues were also addressed.

An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. It was discovered that the tracing subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly keep track of per-cpu ring buffer state. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. Benedict Schlueter discovered that the BPF subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly protect against Speculative Store Bypass side- channel attacks in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. Murray McAllister discovered that the joystick device interface in the Linux kernel did not properly validate data passed via an ioctl. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code on systems with a joystick device registered. Various other issues were also addressed.
