Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4255-1
January 28, 2020

linux, linux-aws, linux-oem vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- 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-oem: Linux kernel for OEM processors

Details:

It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly clear data
structures on context switches for certain Intel graphics processors. A
local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
(CVE-2019-14615)

It was discovered that a race condition can lead to a use-after-free while
destroying GEM contexts in the i915 driver for the Linux kernel. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-7053)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
  linux-image-4.15.0-1058-aws     4.15.0-1058.60
  linux-image-4.15.0-1067-oem     4.15.0-1067.77
  linux-image-4.15.0-76-generic   4.15.0-76.86
  linux-image-4.15.0-76-generic-lpae  4.15.0-76.86
  linux-image-4.15.0-76-lowlatency  4.15.0-76.86
  linux-image-aws                 4.15.0.1058.59
  linux-image-aws-lts-18.04       4.15.0.1058.59
  linux-image-generic             4.15.0.76.78
  linux-image-generic-lpae        4.15.0.76.78
  linux-image-lowlatency          4.15.0.76.78
  linux-image-oem                 4.15.0.1067.71
  linux-image-powerpc-e500mc      4.15.0.76.78
  linux-image-powerpc-smp         4.15.0.76.78
  linux-image-powerpc64-emb       4.15.0.76.78
  linux-image-powerpc64-smp       4.15.0.76.78
  linux-image-virtual             4.15.0.76.78

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.
