USN-6957-1: Linux kernel (Oracle) vulnerabilities
13 August 2024
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Releases
Packages
- linux-oracle-5.15 - Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems
Details
Benedict Schlüter, Supraja Sridhara, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde
discovered that an untrusted hypervisor could inject malicious #VC
interrupts and compromise the security guarantees of AMD SEV-SNP. This flaw
is known as WeSee. A local attacker in control of the hypervisor could use
this to expose sensitive information or possibly execute arbitrary code in
the trusted execution environment. (CVE-2024-25742)
Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 20.04
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.
