========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6495-1 November 21, 2023
linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-5.4, linux-bluefield, linux-hwe-5.4, linux-ibm, linux-ibm-5.4, linux-iot, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-5.4, linux-raspi, linux-raspi-5.4, linux-xilinx-zynqmp vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro) 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-bluefield: Linux kernel for NVIDIA BlueField platforms - linux-ibm: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems - linux-iot: Linux kernel for IoT platforms - linux-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments - linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems - linux-xilinx-zynqmp: Linux kernel for Xilinx ZynqMP processors - linux-aws-5.4: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) 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: Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly check for MTD with zero erasesize during device attachment. A local privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-31085) Manfred Rudigier discovered that the Intel(R) PCI-Express Gigabit (igb) Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate received frames that are larger than the set MTU size, leading to a buffer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-45871) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-1026-iot 5.4.0-1026.27 linux-image-5.4.0-1034-xilinx-zynqmp 5.4.0-1034.38 linux-image-5.4.0-1061-ibm 5.4.0-1061.66 linux-image-5.4.0-1075-bluefield 5.4.0-1075.81 linux-image-5.4.0-1098-raspi 5.4.0-1098.110 linux-image-5.4.0-1103-kvm 5.4.0-1103.110 linux-image-5.4.0-1113-oracle 5.4.0-1113.122 linux-image-5.4.0-1114-aws 5.4.0-1114.124 linux-image-5.4.0-167-generic 5.4.0-167.184 linux-image-5.4.0-167-generic-lpae 5.4.0-167.184 linux-image-5.4.0-167-lowlatency 5.4.0-167.184 linux-image-aws-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1114.111 linux-image-bluefield 5.4.0.1075.70 linux-image-generic 5.4.0.167.164 linux-image-generic-lpae 5.4.0.167.164 linux-image-ibm-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1061.90 linux-image-kvm 5.4.0.1103.99 linux-image-lowlatency 5.4.0.167.164 linux-image-oem 5.4.0.167.164 linux-image-oem-osp1 5.4.0.167.164 linux-image-oracle-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1113.106 linux-image-raspi 5.4.0.1098.128 linux-image-raspi2 5.4.0.1098.128 linux-image-virtual 5.4.0.167.164 linux-image-xilinx-zynqmp 5.4.0.1034.34 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro): linux-image-5.4.0-1061-ibm 5.4.0-1061.66~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1098-raspi 5.4.0-1098.110~18.04.2 linux-image-5.4.0-1113-oracle 5.4.0-1113.122~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-1114-aws 5.4.0-1114.124~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-167-generic 5.4.0-167.184~18.04.1 linux-image-5.4.0-167-lowlatency 5.4.0-167.184~18.04.1 linux-image-aws 5.4.0.1114.92 linux-image-generic-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.167.184~18.04.135 linux-image-ibm 5.4.0.1061.72 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.167.184~18.04.135 linux-image-oem 5.4.0.167.184~18.04.135 linux-image-oem-osp1 5.4.0.167.184~18.04.135 linux-image-oracle 5.4.0.1113.122~18.04.85 linux-image-raspi-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.1098.95 linux-image-snapdragon-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.167.184~18.04.135 linux-image-virtual-hwe-18.04 5.4.0.167.184~18.04.135 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.
