[Ubuntu Security Notices](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices) 2. USN-6898-3 --- # USN-6898-3: Linux kernel kernel vulnerabilities Publication date 19 July 2024 Overview Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Releases [22.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=jammy) [20.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=focal) --- Open side navigation ## Packages * [linux-aws](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=linux-aws) - Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems * [linux-hwe-5.15](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=linux-hwe-5.15) - Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel ## Details Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. ([CVE-2022-38096](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2022-38096)) Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). ([CVE-2024-23307](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-23307)) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. ([CVE-2024-24857](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-24857), [CVE-2024-24858](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-24858), --- 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-5.15.0-1065-aws](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-aws) –  [5.15.0-1065.71](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-aws/5.15.0-1065.71) | | | | [linux-image-aws-lts-22.04](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-aws) –  [5.15.0.1065.65](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-aws/5.15.0.1065.65) | | | | 20.04 LTS focal | [linux-image-5.15.0-116-generic](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-hwe-5.15) –  [5.15.0-116.126~20.04.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-hwe-5.15/5.15.0-116.126~20.04.1) | | | | [linux-image-5.15.0-116-generic-64k](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-hwe-5.15) –  [5.15.0-116.126~20.04.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-hwe-5.15/5.15.0-116.126~20.04.1) | | | | [linux-image-5.15.0-116-generic-lpae](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe-5.15) –  [5.15.0-116.126~20.04.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe-5.15/5.15.0-116.126~20.04.1) | | | | [linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-20.04](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15) –  [5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15/5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1) | | | | [linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15) –  [5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15/5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1) | | | | [linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-20.04](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15) –  [5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15/5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1) | | | | [linux-image-oem-20.04](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15) –  [5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15/5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1) | | | | [linux-image-oem-20.04b](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15) –  [5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15/5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1) | | | | [linux-image-oem-20.04c](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15) –  [5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15/5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1) | | | | [linux-image-oem-20.04d](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15) –  [5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15/5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1) | | | | [linux-image-virtual-hwe-20.04](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15) –  [5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-hwe-5.15/5.15.0.116.126~20.04.1) | | | --- ### 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.
