USN-6821-2: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
10 June 2024
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Releases
Packages
- linux-gkeop - Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems
- linux-gkeop-5.15 - Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems
- linux-kvm - Linux kernel for cloud environments
Details
It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux
kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free
vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6270)
It was discovered that the Atheros 802.11ac wireless driver did not
properly validate certain data structures, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2023-7042)
It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux
Kernel contained a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged
attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-0841)
Yuxuan Hu discovered that the Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol driver in the Linux
Kernel contained a race condition, leading to a NULL pointer dereference.
An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2024-22099)
It was discovered that the MediaTek SoC Gigabit Ethernet driver in the
Linux kernel contained a race condition when stopping the device. A local
attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (device
unavailability). (CVE-2024-27432)
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 22.04
-

-
5.15.0-1046.53
-
linux-image-5.15.0-1060-kvm
-
5.15.0-1060.65
-
linux-image-gkeop
-
5.15.0.1046.45
-
linux-image-gkeop-5.15
-
5.15.0.1046.45
-
linux-image-kvm
-
5.15.0.1060.56
Ubuntu 20.04
-
linux-image-5.15.0-1046-gkeop

linux-image-gkeop-5.15
-
5.15.0.1046.53~20.04.1
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.
