Software Description: - linux-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems Details: Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38096) Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM32 architecture; - ARM64 architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Power management core; - GPU drivers; - InfiniBand drivers; - Network drivers; - S/390 drivers; - SCSI subsystem; - TTY drivers; - BTRFS file system; - Ext4 file system; - EROFS file system; - F2FS file system; - File systems infrastructure; - BPF subsystem; - Socket messages infrastructure; - Bluetooth subsystem; - Memory management; - Amateur Radio drivers; - Ethernet bridge; - Networking core; - IPv4 networking; - Network traffic control; - Sun RPC protocol; - VMware vSockets driver; - SELinux security module; (CVE-2024-42240, CVE-2024-36938, CVE-2024-35967, CVE-2024-36953, CVE-2022-48938, CVE-2024-38553, CVE-2024-35904, CVE-2024-35965, CVE-2024-26947, CVE-2024-36968, CVE-2024-43892, CVE-2024-38597, CVE-2023-52498, CVE-2021-47501, CVE-2024-44942, CVE-2024-42077, CVE-2024-53057, CVE-2024-46724, CVE-2024-35963, CVE-2022-48943, CVE-2024-42068, CVE-2024-42156, CVE-2022-48733, CVE-2023-52639, CVE-2021-47101, CVE-2023-52821, CVE-2024-44940, CVE-2024-36952, CVE-2021-47001, CVE-2024-38538, CVE-2024-40910, CVE-2021-47076, CVE-2024-35966, CVE-2024-50264, CVE-2024-35951, CVE-2023-52488, CVE-2023-52497, CVE-2024-49967) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS linux-image-5.4.0-1142-azure 5.4.0-1142.149 linux-image-azure-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1142.136 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.
