========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5566-1 August 10, 2022 linux-aws, linux-aws-5.15, linux-azure, linux-azure-5.15, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-5.15, linux-gke, linux-gke-5.15, linux-ibm, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-raspi vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 22.04 LTS - Ubuntu 20.04 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-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-gke: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) 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-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems - linux-aws-5.15: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-azure-5.15: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure cloud systems - linux-gcp-5.15: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-gke-5.15: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems Details: Zhenpeng Lin discovered that the network packet scheduler implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly remove all references to a route filter before freeing it in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2588) It was discovered that the netfilter subsystem of the Linux kernel did not prevent one nft object from referencing an nft set in another nft table, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2586) It was discovered that the implementation of POSIX timers in the Linux kernel did not properly clean up timers in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-2585) Minh Yuan discovered that the floppy disk driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1652) It was discovered that the Atheros ath9k wireless device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some error conditions, 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-2022-1679) Felix Fu discovered that the Sun RPC implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle socket states, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-28893) Johannes Wikner and Kaveh Razavi discovered that for some AMD x86-64 processors, the branch predictor could by mis-trained for return instructions in certain circumstances. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-29900) Johannes Wikner and Kaveh Razavi discovered that for some Intel x86-64 processors, the Linux kernel's protections against speculative branch target injection attacks were insufficient in some circumstances. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-29901) Arthur Mongodin discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly perform data validation. A local attacker could use this to escalate privileges in certain situations. (CVE-2022-34918) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: linux-image-5.15.0-1012-ibm 5.15.0-1012.14 linux-image-5.15.0-1013-raspi 5.15.0-1013.15 linux-image-5.15.0-1013-raspi-nolpae 5.15.0-1013.15 linux-image-5.15.0-1014-gke 5.15.0-1014.17 linux-image-5.15.0-1016-gcp 5.15.0-1016.21 linux-image-5.15.0-1016-kvm 5.15.0-1016.19 linux-image-5.15.0-1016-oracle 5.15.0-1016.20 linux-image-5.15.0-1017-aws 5.15.0-1017.21 linux-image-5.15.0-1017-azure 5.15.0-1017.20 linux-image-aws 5.15.0.1017.17 linux-image-azure 5.15.0.1017.16 linux-image-gcp 5.15.0.1016.14 linux-image-gke 5.15.0.1014.17 linux-image-gke-5.15 5.15.0.1014.17 linux-image-ibm 5.15.0.1012.11 linux-image-kvm 5.15.0.1016.14 linux-image-oracle 5.15.0.1016.14 linux-image-raspi 5.15.0.1013.12 linux-image-raspi-nolpae 5.15.0.1013.12 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.15.0-1014-gke 5.15.0-1014.17~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-1016-gcp 5.15.0-1016.21~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-1017-aws 5.15.0-1017.21~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-1017-azure 5.15.0-1017.20~20.04.1 linux-image-aws 5.15.0.1017.21~20.04.9 linux-image-azure 5.15.0.1017.20~20.04.10 linux-image-gcp 5.15.0.1016.21~20.04.1 linux-image-gke-5.15 5.15.0.1014.17~20.04.1 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.
