========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4876-1 March 16, 2021 linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-lts-xenial, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 ESM 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-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments - linux-raspi2: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi (V8) systems - linux-snapdragon: Linux kernel for Qualcomm Snapdragon processors - linux-lts-xenial: Linux hardware enablement kernel from Xenial for Trusty Details: Olivier Benjamin and Pawel Wieczorkiewicz discovered a race condition the Xen paravirt block backend in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM could use this to cause a denial of service in the host OS. (CVE-2020-29569) It was discovered that the Marvell WiFi-Ex device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate ad-hoc SSIDs. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-36158) 吴异 discovered that the NFS implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly prevent access outside of an NFS export that is a subdirectory of a file system. An attacker could possibly use this to bypass NFS access restrictions. (CVE-2021-3178) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: linux-image-4.4.0-1089-kvm 4.4.0-1089.98 linux-image-4.4.0-1123-aws 4.4.0-1123.137 linux-image-4.4.0-1147-raspi2 4.4.0-1147.157 linux-image-4.4.0-1151-snapdragon 4.4.0-1151.161 linux-image-4.4.0-204-generic 4.4.0-204.236 linux-image-4.4.0-204-generic-lpae 4.4.0-204.236 linux-image-4.4.0-204-lowlatency 4.4.0-204.236 linux-image-4.4.0-204-powerpc-e500mc 4.4.0-204.236 linux-image-4.4.0-204-powerpc-smp 4.4.0-204.236 linux-image-4.4.0-204-powerpc64-emb 4.4.0-204.236 linux-image-4.4.0-204-powerpc64-smp 4.4.0-204.236 linux-image-aws 4.4.0.1123.128 linux-image-generic 4.4.0.204.210 linux-image-generic-lpae 4.4.0.204.210 linux-image-kvm 4.4.0.1089.87 linux-image-lowlatency 4.4.0.204.210 linux-image-powerpc-e500mc 4.4.0.204.210 linux-image-powerpc-smp 4.4.0.204.210 linux-image-powerpc64-emb 4.4.0.204.210 linux-image-powerpc64-smp 4.4.0.204.210 linux-image-raspi2 4.4.0.1147.147 linux-image-snapdragon 4.4.0.1151.143 linux-image-virtual 4.4.0.204.210 Ubuntu 14.04 ESM: linux-image-4.4.0-1087-aws 4.4.0-1087.91 linux-image-4.4.0-204-generic 4.4.0-204.236~14.04.1 linux-image-4.4.0-204-generic-lpae 4.4.0-204.236~14.04.1 linux-image-4.4.0-204-lowlatency 4.4.0-204.236~14.04.1 linux-image-4.4.0-204-powerpc-e500mc 4.4.0-204.236~14.04.1 linux-image-4.4.0-204-powerpc-smp 4.4.0-204.236~14.04.1 linux-image-4.4.0-204-powerpc64-emb 4.4.0-204.236~14.04.1 linux-image-4.4.0-204-powerpc64-smp 4.4.0-204.236~14.04.1 linux-image-aws 4.4.0.1087.84 linux-image-generic-lpae-lts-xenial 4.4.0.204.178 linux-image-generic-lts-xenial 4.4.0.204.178 linux-image-lowlatency-lts-xenial 4.4.0.204.178 linux-image-powerpc-e500mc-lts-xenial 4.4.0.204.178 linux-image-powerpc-smp-lts-xenial 4.4.0.204.178 linux-image-powerpc64-emb-lts-xenial 4.4.0.204.178 linux-image-powerpc64-smp-lts-xenial 4.4.0.204.178 linux-image-virtual-lts-xenial 4.4.0.204.178 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.
