linux-ibm, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-5.4 regression
=========================================================================
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: Linux kernel
- linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
- linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
- linux-ibm: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems
- linux-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments
- linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems
- linux-aws-5.4: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
- linux-gcp-5.4: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
- linux-hwe-5.4: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel
- linux-oracle-5.4: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems

Details:

USN-5267-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. Unfortunately,
that update introduced a regression that caused the kernel to freeze
when accessing CIFS shares in some situations.  This update fixes
the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel
 contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this
 to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
 code. (CVE-2021-3640)

 Likang Luo discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth
 subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A
 local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)
 or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3752)

 Luo Likang discovered that the FireDTV Firewire driver in the Linux kernel
 did not properly perform bounds checking in some situations. A local
 attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
 possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-42739)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

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.
