Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6716-1
March 25, 2024
linux-azure, linux-azure-5.4 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-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems
- linux-azure-5.4: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure cloud systems
Details:
Wenqing Liu discovered that the f2fs file system implementation in the
Linux kernel did not properly validate inode types while performing garbage
collection. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious f2fs image
that, when mounted and operated on, could cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2021-44879)
It was discovered that the DesignWare USB3 for Qualcomm SoCs driver in the
Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions during device
registration. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2023-22995)
It was discovered that the NVIDIA Tegra XUSB pad controller driver in the
Linux kernel did not properly handle return values in certain error
conditions. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2023-23000)
It was discovered that the ARM Mali Display Processor driver implementation
in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions. A
local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2023-23004)
Bien Pham discovered that the netfiler subsystem in the Linux kernel
contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A
local user could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-4244)
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem
of 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-2023-51779)
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the ATM (Asynchronous
Transfer Mode) subsystem of 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-2023-51780)
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Rose X.25 protocol
implementation 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-2023-51782)
Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem of the Linux kernel
did not properly handle connect command payloads in certain situations,
leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. A remote attacker could use
this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-6121)
It was discovered that the VirtIO subsystem in the Linux kernel did not
properly initialize memory in some situations. A local attacker could use
this to possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
(CVE-2024-0340)
Notselwyn discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did
not properly handle verdict parameters in certain cases, 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-2024-1086)
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the SCSI Emulex
LightPulse Fibre Channel driver in the Linux kernel when unregistering FCF
and re-scanning an HBA FCF table, leading to a null pointer dereference
vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2024-24855)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
linux-image-5.4.0-1126-azure 5.4.0-1126.133
linux-image-azure-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1126.119
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro):
linux-image-5.4.0-1126-azure 5.4.0-1126.133~18.04.1
linux-image-azure 5.4.0.1126.99
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.
