[Ubuntu Security Notices](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices) 2. USN-6206-1 --- # USN-6206-1: Linux kernel (OEM) vulnerabilities Publication date 6 July 2023 Overview Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Releases [22.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=jammy) --- Open side navigation ## Packages * [linux-oem-5.17](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=linux-oem-5.17) - Linux kernel for OEM systems ## Details Hangyu Hua discovered that the Flower classifier implementation in the Linux kernel contained an out-of-bounds write vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. ([CVE-2023-35788](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-35788), LP: #2023577) It was discovered that the NTFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel contained a null pointer dereference in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). ([CVE-2022-4842](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2022-4842)) Seth Jenkins discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly perform address randomization for a per-cpu memory management structure. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory) or in conjunction with another kernel vulnerability. ([CVE-2023-0597](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-0597)) It was discovered that the XFS file... --- Show more ## Update instructions After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes. [Learn more about how to get the fixes.](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security) 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. The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: | Ubuntu Release | Package Version | | --- | --- | | 22.04 LTS jammy | [linux-image-5.17.0-1034-oem](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-oem-5.17) –  [5.17.0-1034.35](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-oem-5.17/5.17.0-1034.35) | | | | [linux-image-oem-22.04](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-oem-5.17) –  [5.17.0.1034.32](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-oem-5.17/5.17.0.1034.32) | | | | [linux-image-oem-22.04a](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-oem-5.17) –  [5.17.0.1034.32](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-oem-5.17/5.17.0.1034.32) | | | --- ### Reduce your security exposure Ubuntu Pro provides ten-year security coverage to 25,000+ packages in Main and Universe repositories, and it is free for up to five machines.
