========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5116-2 October 22, 2021 linux-aws, linux-aws-5.4, linux-azure, linux-azure-5.4, linux-gke, linux-gke-5.4, linux-gkeop, linux-gkeop-5.4, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-5.4, linux-raspi, linux-raspi-5.4 vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems - linux-gke: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-gkeop: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems - linux-aws-5.4: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-azure-5.4: Linux kernel version specific cloud tools for version 5.4.0-1062 - linux-gke-5.4: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-gkeop-5.4: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-oracle-5.4: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-raspi-5.4: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems Details: It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Atheros Ath9k WiFi driver in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (WiFi network traffic). (CVE-2020-3702) Alois Wohlschlager discovered that the overlay file system in the Linux kernel did not restrict private clones in some situations. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2021-3732) It was discovered that the KVM hypervisor implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly compute the access permissions for shadow pages in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2021-38198) It was discovered that the Xilinx 10/100 Ethernet Lite device driver in the Linux kernel could report pointer addresses in some situations. An attacker could use this information to ease the exploitation of another vulnerability. (CVE-2021-38205) It was discovered that the ext4 file system in the Linux kernel contained a race condition when writing xattrs to an inode. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly gain administrative privileges. (CVE-2021-40490) It was discovered that the 6pack network protocol driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform validation checks. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-42008) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1025-gkeop 5.4.0-1025.26 linux-image-5.4.0-1045-raspi 5.4.0-1045.49 linux-image-5.4.0-1054-gke 5.4.0-1054.57 linux-image-5.4.0-1056-oracle 5.4.0-1056.60 linux-image-5.4.0-1058-aws 5.4.0-1058.61 linux-image-5.4.0-1062-azure 5.4.0-1062.65 linux-image-aws-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1058.61 linux-image-azure-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1062.60 linux-image-gke 5.4.0.1054.64 linux-image-gke-5.4 5.4.0.1054.64 linux-image-gkeop 5.4.0.1025.28 linux-image-gkeop-5.4 5.4.0.1025.28 linux-image-oracle-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1056.56 linux-image-raspi 5.4.0.1045.80 linux-image-raspi2 5.4.0.1045.80 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1025-gkeop 5.4.0-1025.26~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1045-raspi 5.4.0-1045.49~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1054-gke 5.4.0-1054.57~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1056-oracle 5.4.0-1056.60~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1058-aws 5.4.0-1058.61~18.04.3 linux-image-5.4.0-1062-azure 5.4.0-1062.65~18.04.1 linux-image-aws 5.4.0.1058.41 linux-image-azure 5.4.0.1062.42 linux-image-gke-5.4 5.4.0.1054.57~18.04.19 linux-image-gkeop-5.4 5.4.0.1025.26~18.04.26 linux-image-oracle 5.4.0.1056.60~18.04.36 linux-image-raspi-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.1045.48 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.
