========================================================================= Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5729-1 November 17, 2022 linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-5.15, linux-azure, linux-azure-5.15, linux-gcp, linux-gke, linux-gkeop, linux-hwe-5.15, linux-ibm, linux-kvm, linux-lowlatency, linux-lowlatency-hwe-5.15, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-5.15 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: Linux kernel - 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-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-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel - linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud 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-hwe-5.15: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel - linux-lowlatency-hwe-5.15: Linux low latency kernel - linux-oracle-5.15: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems Details: It was discovered that a race condition existed in the instruction emulator of the Linux kernel on Arm 64-bit systems. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-20422) Hsin-Wei Hung discovered that the BPF subsystem in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the x86 JIT compiler. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-2905) Hao Sun and Jiacheng Xu discovered that the NILFS file system implementation 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-2022-2978) Abhishek Shah discovered a race condition in the PF_KEYv2 implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-3028) It was discovered that the Netlink device interface implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability with some network device drivers. A local attacker with admin access to the network device could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3625) It was discovered that the IDT 77252 ATM PCI device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly remove any pending timers during device exit, resulting in 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-2022-3635) Gwangun Jung discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly prevent binding to an already bound chain. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-39190) Xingyuan Mo and Gengjia Chen discovered that the Promise SuperTrak EX storage controller driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain structures. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-40768) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: linux-image-5.15.0-1008-gkeop 5.15.0-1008.12 linux-image-5.15.0-1018-ibm 5.15.0-1018.21 linux-image-5.15.0-1020-gke 5.15.0-1020.25 linux-image-5.15.0-1021-kvm 5.15.0-1021.26 linux-image-5.15.0-1022-gcp 5.15.0-1022.29 linux-image-5.15.0-1022-oracle 5.15.0-1022.28 linux-image-5.15.0-1023-aws 5.15.0-1023.27 linux-image-5.15.0-1023-azure 5.15.0-1023.29 linux-image-5.15.0-53-generic 5.15.0-53.59 linux-image-5.15.0-53-generic-64k 5.15.0-53.59 linux-image-5.15.0-53-generic-lpae 5.15.0-53.59 linux-image-5.15.0-53-lowlatency 5.15.0-53.59 linux-image-5.15.0-53-lowlatency-64k 5.15.0-53.59 linux-image-aws 5.15.0.1023.23 linux-image-aws-lts-22.04 5.15.0.1023.23 linux-image-azure 5.15.0.1023.22 linux-image-azure-lts-22.04 5.15.0.1023.22 linux-image-gcp 5.15.0.1022.19 linux-image-generic 5.15.0.53.53 linux-image-generic-64k 5.15.0.53.53 linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-22.04 5.15.0.53.53 linux-image-generic-hwe-22.04 5.15.0.53.53 linux-image-generic-lpae 5.15.0.53.53 linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-22.04 5.15.0.53.53 linux-image-gke 5.15.0.1020.21 linux-image-gke-5.15 5.15.0.1020.21 linux-image-gkeop 5.15.0.1008.9 linux-image-gkeop-5.15 5.15.0.1008.9 linux-image-ibm 5.15.0.1018.16 linux-image-kvm 5.15.0.1021.19 linux-image-lowlatency 5.15.0.53.48 linux-image-lowlatency-64k 5.15.0.53.48 linux-image-lowlatency-64k-hwe-22.04 5.15.0.53.48 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-22.04 5.15.0.53.48 linux-image-oem-20.04 5.15.0.53.53 linux-image-oracle 5.15.0.1022.19 linux-image-virtual 5.15.0.53.53 linux-image-virtual-hwe-22.04 5.15.0.53.53 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.15.0-1022-oracle 5.15.0-1022.28~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-1023-aws 5.15.0-1023.27~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-1023-azure 5.15.0-1023.29~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-53-generic 5.15.0-53.59~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-53-generic-64k 5.15.0-53.59~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-53-generic-lpae 5.15.0-53.59~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-53-lowlatency 5.15.0-53.59~20.04.1 linux-image-5.15.0-53-lowlatency-64k 5.15.0-53.59~20.04.1 linux-image-aws 5.15.0.1023.27~20.04.15 linux-image-azure 5.15.0.1023.29~20.04.16 linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-20.04 5.15.0.53.59~20.04.21 linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04 5.15.0.53.59~20.04.21 linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-20.04 5.15.0.53.59~20.04.21 linux-image-lowlatency-64k-hwe-20.04 5.15.0.53.59~20.04.19 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-20.04 5.15.0.53.59~20.04.19 linux-image-oracle 5.15.0.1022.28~20.04.1 linux-image-virtual-hwe-20.04 5.15.0.53.59~20.04.21 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.
