========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5592-1 September 01, 2022 linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-bluefield, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-5.4, linux-gke, linux-gkeop, linux-ibm, linux-ibm-5.4, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-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-bluefield: Linux kernel for NVIDIA BlueField platforms - linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-gke: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems - linux-gkeop: 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-gcp-5.4: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-ibm-5.4: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems - linux-oracle-5.4: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems Details: Asaf Modelevsky discovered that the Intel(R) 10GbE PCI Express (ixgbe) Ethernet driver for the Linux kernel performed insufficient control flow management. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2021-33061) It was discovered that the virtual terminal driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle VGA console font changes, leading to an out-of-bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-33656) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1032-ibm 5.4.0-1032.36 linux-image-5.4.0-1045-bluefield 5.4.0-1045.50 linux-image-5.4.0-1052-gkeop 5.4.0-1052.55 linux-image-5.4.0-1074-kvm 5.4.0-1074.79 linux-image-5.4.0-1081-gke 5.4.0-1081.87 linux-image-5.4.0-1082-oracle 5.4.0-1082.90 linux-image-5.4.0-1084-aws 5.4.0-1084.91 linux-image-5.4.0-1087-gcp 5.4.0-1087.95 linux-image-5.4.0-1090-azure 5.4.0-1090.95 linux-image-aws-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1084.84 linux-image-azure-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1090.87 linux-image-bluefield 5.4.0.1045.44 linux-image-gcp-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1087.92 linux-image-gke 5.4.0.1081.89 linux-image-gke-5.4 5.4.0.1081.89 linux-image-gkeop 5.4.0.1052.53 linux-image-gkeop-5.4 5.4.0.1052.53 linux-image-ibm 5.4.0.1032.61 linux-image-ibm-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1032.61 linux-image-kvm 5.4.0.1074.71 linux-image-oracle-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1082.79 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1032-ibm 5.4.0-1032.36~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1082-oracle 5.4.0-1082.90~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1087-gcp 5.4.0-1087.95~18.04.1 linux-image-gcp 5.4.0.1087.66 linux-image-ibm 5.4.0.1032.46 linux-image-oracle 5.4.0.1082.90~18.04.59 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.
