========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6047-1 April 27, 2023 linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-5.4, linux-azure, linux-azure-4.15, linux-azure-5.4, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-4.15, linux-gcp-5.4, linux-gke, linux-gkeop, linux-hwe, linux-hwe-5.4, linux-ibm, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-5.4 vulnerability ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 ESM - Ubuntu 14.04 ESM Summary: The system could be made to run programs as an administrator. 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-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-aws-5.4: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-azure-4.15: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems - linux-azure-5.4: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure cloud systems - linux-gcp-4.15: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-gcp-5.4: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-hwe-5.4: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel - linux-oracle-5.4: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-hwe: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel Details: It was discovered that the Traffic-Control Index (TCINDEX) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly perform filter deactivation in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain elevated privileges. Please note that with the fix for this CVE, kernel support for the TCINDEX classifier has been removed. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1048-ibm 5.4.0-1048.53 linux-image-5.4.0-1068-gkeop 5.4.0-1068.72 linux-image-5.4.0-1090-kvm 5.4.0-1090.96 linux-image-5.4.0-1098-gke 5.4.0-1098.105 linux-image-5.4.0-1100-oracle 5.4.0-1100.109 linux-image-5.4.0-1101-aws 5.4.0-1101.109 linux-image-5.4.0-1104-gcp 5.4.0-1104.113 linux-image-5.4.0-1107-azure 5.4.0-1107.113 linux-image-5.4.0-148-generic 5.4.0-148.165 linux-image-5.4.0-148-generic-lpae 5.4.0-148.165 linux-image-5.4.0-148-lowlatency 5.4.0-148.165 linux-image-aws-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1101.98 linux-image-azure-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1107.100 linux-image-gcp-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1104.106 linux-image-generic 5.4.0.148.146 linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.148.146 linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04-edge 5.4.0.148.146 linux-image-generic-lpae 5.4.0.148.146 linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.148.146 linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-18.04-edge 5.4.0.148.146 linux-image-gke 5.4.0.1098.103 linux-image-gke-5.4 5.4.0.1098.103 linux-image-gkeop 5.4.0.1068.66 linux-image-gkeop-5.4 5.4.0.1068.66 linux-image-ibm 5.4.0.1048.74 linux-image-ibm-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1048.74 linux-image-kvm 5.4.0.1090.84 linux-image-lowlatency 5.4.0.148.146 linux-image-oem 5.4.0.148.146 linux-image-oem-osp1 5.4.0.148.146 linux-image-oracle-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1100.93 linux-image-virtual 5.4.0.148.146 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: linux-image-4.15.0-1118-oracle 4.15.0-1118.129 linux-image-4.15.0-1139-kvm 4.15.0-1139.144 linux-image-4.15.0-1149-gcp 4.15.0-1149.165 linux-image-4.15.0-1164-azure 4.15.0-1164.179 linux-image-4.15.0-210-generic 4.15.0-210.221 linux-image-4.15.0-210-generic-lpae 4.15.0-210.221 linux-image-4.15.0-210-lowlatency 4.15.0-210.221 linux-image-5.4.0-1100-oracle 5.4.0-1100.109~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1101-aws 5.4.0-1101.109~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1104-gcp 5.4.0-1104.113~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1107-azure 5.4.0-1107.113~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-148-generic 5.4.0-148.165~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-148-generic-lpae 5.4.0-148.165~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-148-lowlatency 5.4.0-148.165~18.04.1 linux-image-aws 5.4.0.1101.79 linux-image-azure 5.4.0.1107.80 linux-image-azure-lts-18.04 4.15.0.1164.132 linux-image-gcp 5.4.0.1104.80 linux-image-gcp-lts-18.04 4.15.0.1149.163 linux-image-generic 4.15.0.210.193 linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.148.165~18.04.119 linux-image-generic-lpae 4.15.0.210.193 linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.148.165~18.04.119 linux-image-kvm 4.15.0.1139.130 linux-image-lowlatency 4.15.0.210.193 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.148.165~18.04.119 linux-image-oem 5.4.0.148.165~18.04.119 linux-image-oem-osp1 5.4.0.148.165~18.04.119 linux-image-oracle 5.4.0.1100.109~18.04.72 linux-image-oracle-lts-18.04 4.15.0.1118.123 linux-image-snapdragon-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.148.165~18.04.119 linux-image-virtual 4.15.0.210.193 linux-image-virtual-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.148.165~18.04.119 Ubuntu 16.04 ESM: linux-image-4.15.0-1118-oracle 4.15.0-1118.129~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-1149-gcp 4.15.0-1149.165~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-1164-azure 4.15.0-1164.179~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-210-generic 4.15.0-210.221~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-210-lowlatency 4.15.0-210.221~16.04.1 linux-image-azure 4.15.0.1164.148 linux-image-gcp 4.15.0.1149.139 linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.210.195 linux-image-gke 4.15.0.1149.139 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.210.195 linux-image-oem 4.15.0.210.195 linux-image-oracle 4.15.0.1118.99 linux-image-virtual-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.210.195 Ubuntu 14.04 ESM: linux-image-4.15.0-1164-azure 4.15.0-1164.179~14.04.1 linux-image-azure 4.15.0.1164.130 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.
