========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5756-1 December 01, 2022 linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-5.4, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-5.4, linux-gkeop, linux-hwe-5.4, linux-ibm, linux-ibm-5.4, linux-kvm, 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: Linux kernel - linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) 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-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 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-ibm-5.4: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems - linux-oracle-5.4: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-raspi-5.4: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems Details: Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly track memory allocations for anonymous VMA mappings in some situations, leading to potential data structure reuse. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-42703) It was discovered that a memory leak existed in the IPv6 implementation of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2022-3524) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in 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-2022-3564) It was discovered that the ISDN implementation of the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A privileged user could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3565) It was discovered that the TCP implementation in the Linux kernel contained a data race condition. An attacker could possibly use this to cause undesired behaviors. (CVE-2022-3566) It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel contained a data race condition. An attacker could possibly use this to cause undesired behaviors. (CVE-2022-3567) It was discovered that the Realtek RTL8152 USB Ethernet adapter driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions. A local attacker with physical access could plug in a specially crafted USB device to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2022-3594) It was discovered that a null pointer dereference existed in the NILFS2 file system implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-3621) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1040-ibm 5.4.0-1040.45 linux-image-5.4.0-1060-gkeop 5.4.0-1060.64 linux-image-5.4.0-1077-raspi 5.4.0-1077.88 linux-image-5.4.0-1082-kvm 5.4.0-1082.88 linux-image-5.4.0-1090-oracle 5.4.0-1090.99 linux-image-5.4.0-1092-aws 5.4.0-1092.100 linux-image-5.4.0-1096-gcp 5.4.0-1096.105 linux-image-5.4.0-135-generic 5.4.0-135.152 linux-image-5.4.0-135-generic-lpae 5.4.0-135.152 linux-image-5.4.0-135-lowlatency 5.4.0-135.152 linux-image-aws-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1092.89 linux-image-gcp-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1096.98 linux-image-generic 5.4.0.135.133 linux-image-generic-lpae 5.4.0.135.133 linux-image-gkeop 5.4.0.1060.58 linux-image-gkeop-5.4 5.4.0.1060.58 linux-image-ibm 5.4.0.1040.66 linux-image-ibm-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1040.66 linux-image-kvm 5.4.0.1082.76 linux-image-lowlatency 5.4.0.135.133 linux-image-oem 5.4.0.135.133 linux-image-oem-osp1 5.4.0.135.133 linux-image-oracle-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1090.84 linux-image-raspi 5.4.0.1077.107 linux-image-raspi2 5.4.0.1077.107 linux-image-virtual 5.4.0.135.133 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1040-ibm 5.4.0-1040.45~18.04.2 linux-image-5.4.0-1077-raspi 5.4.0-1077.88~18.04.2 linux-image-5.4.0-1090-oracle 5.4.0-1090.99~18.04.2 linux-image-5.4.0-1092-aws 5.4.0-1092.100~18.04.2 linux-image-5.4.0-1096-gcp 5.4.0-1096.105~18.04.2 linux-image-5.4.0-135-generic 5.4.0-135.152~18.04.2 linux-image-5.4.0-135-generic-lpae 5.4.0-135.152~18.04.2 linux-image-5.4.0-135-lowlatency 5.4.0-135.152~18.04.2 linux-image-aws 5.4.0.1092.69 linux-image-gcp 5.4.0.1096.72 linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.135.152~18.04.110 linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.135.152~18.04.110 linux-image-ibm 5.4.0.1040.51 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.135.152~18.04.110 linux-image-oem 5.4.0.135.152~18.04.110 linux-image-oem-osp1 5.4.0.135.152~18.04.110 linux-image-oracle 5.4.0.1090.99~18.04.64 linux-image-raspi-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.1077.74 linux-image-snapdragon-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.135.152~18.04.110 linux-image-virtual-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.135.152~18.04.110 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.
