[Ubuntu Security Notices](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices) 2. USN-7005-1 --- # USN-7005-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities Publication date 12 September 2024 Overview Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Releases [24.04 LTS](https://ubuntu.com/security/notices?release=noble) --- Open side navigation ## Packages * [linux-nvidia](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=linux-nvidia) - Linux kernel for NVIDIA systems * [linux-nvidia-lowlatency](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=linux-nvidia-lowlatency) - Linux low latency kernel for NVIDIA systems ## Details Chenyuan Yang discovered that the CEC driver driver in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. ([CVE-2024-23848](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-23848)) It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when printing xattr debug information. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). ([CVE-2024-40902](https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2024-40902)) 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: * ARM64 architecture; * MIPS architecture; * PA-RISC architecture; * PowerPC architecture; * RISC-V architecture; * x86 architecture; * Block layer subsystem; * ACPI... --- 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 | | --- | --- | | 24.04 LTS noble | [linux-image-6.8.0-1013-nvidia](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-nvidia) –  [6.8.0-1013.14](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-nvidia/6.8.0-1013.14) | | | | [linux-image-6.8.0-1013-nvidia-64k](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-nvidia) –  [6.8.0-1013.14](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-nvidia/6.8.0-1013.14) | | | | [linux-image-6.8.0-1013-nvidia-lowlatency](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-nvidia-lowlatency) –  [6.8.0-1013.14.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-nvidia-lowlatency/6.8.0-1013.14.1) | | | | [linux-image-6.8.0-1013-nvidia-lowlatency-64k](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-nvidia-lowlatency) –  [6.8.0-1013.14.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-signed-nvidia-lowlatency/6.8.0-1013.14.1) | | | | [linux-image-nvidia](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia) –  [6.8.0-1013.13](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia/6.8.0-1013.13) | | | | [linux-image-nvidia-64k](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia) –  [6.8.0-1013.13](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia/6.8.0-1013.13) | | | | [linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia-lowlatency) –  [6.8.0-1013.14.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia-lowlatency/6.8.0-1013.14.1) | | | | [linux-image-nvidia-lowlatency-64k](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia-lowlatency) –  [6.8.0-1013.14.1](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta-nvidia-lowlatency/6.8.0-1013.14.1) | | | --- ### 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.
