26 September 2024
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Releases
Packages
- linux-raspi - Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems
Details
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:
- GPU drivers;
- Network drivers;
- SCSI drivers;
- F2FS file system;
- BPF subsystem;
- IPv4 networking;
(CVE-2024-42160, CVE-2024-42159, CVE-2024-42224, CVE-2024-41009,
CVE-2024-42154, CVE-2024-42228)
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 24.04
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.
