========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5874-1 February 15, 2023 linux-aws-5.4, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-5.4, linux-hwe-5.4, linux-ibm, linux-ibm-5.4, 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-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-ibm: Linux kernel for IBM 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-ibm-5.4: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems - linux-oracle-5.4: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems Details: It was discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC USB WiFi driver in the Linux kernel did not properly perform bounds checking in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could use this to craft a malicious USB device that when inserted, could cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3628) It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the Bluetooth stack in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3640) Khalid Masum discovered that the NILFS2 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-3649) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the SMSC UFX USB driver implementation in the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-41849) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Roccat HID driver 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-2022-41850) Tamás Koczka discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-42895) It was discovered that the binder IPC 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-2023-20928) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1044-ibm 5.4.0-1044.49 linux-image-5.4.0-1100-gcp 5.4.0-1100.109 linux-image-gcp-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1100.102 linux-image-ibm 5.4.0.1044.70 linux-image-ibm-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1044.70 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1044-ibm 5.4.0-1044.49~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1093-oracle 5.4.0-1093.102~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1096-aws 5.4.0-1096.104~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1100-gcp 5.4.0-1100.109~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-139-generic 5.4.0-139.156~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-139-generic-lpae 5.4.0-139.156~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-139-lowlatency 5.4.0-139.156~18.04.1 linux-image-aws 5.4.0.1096.74 linux-image-gcp 5.4.0.1100.76 linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.139.156~18.04.114 linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.139.156~18.04.114 linux-image-ibm 5.4.0.1044.55 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.139.156~18.04.114 linux-image-oem 5.4.0.139.156~18.04.114 linux-image-oem-osp1 5.4.0.139.156~18.04.114 linux-image-oracle 5.4.0.1093.102~18.04.67 linux-image-snapdragon-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.139.156~18.04.114 linux-image-virtual-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.139.156~18.04.114 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.
