Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5544-1

Ubuntu Security Notice 5544-1 - It was discovered that the Atheros ath9k wireless device driver in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some error conditions, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Felix Fu discovered that the Sun RPC implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle socket states, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5544-1
August 02, 2022

linux, linux-hwe-5.15, linux-lowlatency, linux-lowlatency-hwe-5.15
vulnerabilities
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

  • Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:

  • linux: Linux kernel
  • linux-lowlatency: Linux low latency kernel
  • linux-hwe-5.15: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel
  • linux-lowlatency-hwe-5.15: Linux low latency kernel

Details:

It was discovered that the Atheros ath9k wireless device driver in the
Linux kernel did not properly handle some error conditions, leading to 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-2022-1679)

Felix Fu discovered that the Sun RPC implementation in the Linux kernel did
not properly handle socket states, leading to a use-after-free
vulnerability. A remote attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial
of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-28893)

Arthur Mongodin discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel
did not properly perform data validation. A local attacker could use this
to escalate privileges in certain situations. (CVE-2022-34918)

Minh Yuan discovered that the floppy disk driver in the Linux kernel
contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A
local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-1652)

linux-image-virtual-hwe-20.04 5.15.0.43.46~20.04.14

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.
