==========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6864-1July 04, 2024linux-gcp, linux-intel vulnerabilities==========================================================================A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:- Ubuntu 24.04 LTSSummary:Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.Software Description:- linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems- linux-intel: Linux kernel for Intel IoT platformsDetails:It was discovered that the Intel Data Streaming and Intel AnalyticsAccelerator drivers in the Linux kernel allowed direct access to thedevices for unprivileged users and virtual machines. A local attacker coulduse this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-21823)A security issue was discovered in the Linux kernel.An attacker could possibly use it to compromise the system.This update corrects flaws in the following subsystem: - Netfilter;(CVE-2024-26924)Update instructions:The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the followingpackage versions:Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.8.0-1006-intel 6.8.0-1006.13 linux-image-6.8.0-1009-gcp 6.8.0-1009.10 linux-image-gcp 6.8.0-1009.10 linux-image-intel 6.8.0-1006.13After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to makeall the necessary changes.ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates havebeen given a new version number, which requires you to recompile andreinstall 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 performthis as well.References: https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-6864-1 CVE-2024-21823, CVE-2024-26924Package Information: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-gcp/6.8.0-1009.10 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-intel/6.8.0-1006.13Related news
