========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7506-4 May 13, 2025
linux-lts-xenial vulnerabilities ==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description: - linux-lts-xenial: Linux hardware enablement kernel from Xenial for Trusty
Details:
Demi Marie Obenour and Simon Gaiser discovered that several Xen para- virtualization device frontends did not properly restrict the access rights of device backends. An attacker could possibly use a malicious Xen backend to gain access to memory pages of a guest VM or cause a denial of service in the guest. (CVE-2022-23041)
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: - Hardware crypto device drivers; - GPU drivers; - IIO subsystem; - Media drivers; - Network drivers; - SCSI subsystem; - SPI subsystem; - USB Gadget drivers; - Ceph distributed file system; - File systems infrastructure; - JFS file system; - Network file system (NFS) client; - Network file system (NFS) server daemon; - NILFS2 file system; - SMB network file system; - CAN network layer; - IPv6 networking; - MAC80211 subsystem; - Netfilter; - Netlink; - Network traffic control; - SCTP protocol; - TIPC protocol; (CVE-2024-46771, CVE-2021-47500, CVE-2024-56631, CVE-2021-47219, CVE-2021-47163, CVE-2024-50256, CVE-2024-56650, CVE-2024-46780, CVE-2021-47506, CVE-2024-26996, CVE-2025-21971, CVE-2021-47587, CVE-2021-47245, CVE-2024-56598, CVE-2021-46959, CVE-2024-26974, CVE-2024-56642, CVE-2023-52741, CVE-2021-47150, CVE-2024-53173, CVE-2024-26915, CVE-2024-36934, CVE-2024-56770, CVE-2024-53063, CVE-2021-47191, CVE-2024-26689, CVE-2024-53066, CVE-2024-35864, CVE-2024-50237, CVE-2024-53140, CVE-2024-49944)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS linux-image-4.4.0-268-generic 4.4.0-268.302~14.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-4.4.0-268-lowlatency 4.4.0-268.302~14.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-generic-lts-xenial 4.4.0.268.302~14.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-lowlatency-lts-xenial 4.4.0.268.302~14.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-virtual-lts-xenial 4.4.0.268.302~14.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro
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.
