Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6532-1
December 05, 2023

linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-lts-xenial vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux: Linux kernel
- linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
- linux-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments
- linux-lts-xenial: Linux hardware enablement kernel from Xenial for Trusty

Details:

Tavis Ormandy discovered that some AMD processors did not properly handle
speculative execution of certain vector register instructions. A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-20593)

Yu Hao discovered that the UBI driver in the Linux kernel did not properly
check for MTD with zero erasesize during device attachment. A local
privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2023-31085)

Lucas Leong discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did
not properly validate some attributes passed from userspace. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-39189)

Sunjoo Park discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did
not properly validate u32 packets content, leading to an out-of-bounds read
vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-39192)

Lucas Leong discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did
not properly validate SCTP data, leading to an out-of-bounds read
vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-39193)

Lucas Leong discovered that the Netlink Transformation (XFRM) subsystem in
the Linux kernel did not properly handle state filters, leading to an out-
of-bounds read vulnerability. A privileged local attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2023-39194)

Kyle Zeng discovered that the IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel did
not properly handle socket buffers (skb) when performing IP routing in
certain circumstances, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability.
A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash). (CVE-2023-42754)

It was discovered that the USB ENE card reader driver in the Linux kernel
did not properly allocate enough memory when processing the storage device
boot blocks. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2023-45862)

Manfred Rudigier discovered that the Intel(R) PCI-Express Gigabit (igb)
Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate received
frames that are larger than the set MTU size, leading to a buffer overflow
vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-45871)

Budimir Markovic discovered that the perf subsystem in the Linux kernel did
not properly handle event groups, leading to an out-of-bounds write
vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-5717)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro):
linux-image-4.4.0-1126-kvm 4.4.0-1126.136
linux-image-4.4.0-1163-aws 4.4.0-1163.178
linux-image-4.4.0-248-generic 4.4.0-248.282
linux-image-4.4.0-248-lowlatency 4.4.0-248.282
linux-image-aws 4.4.0.1163.167
linux-image-generic 4.4.0.248.254
linux-image-generic-lts-xenial 4.4.0.248.254
linux-image-kvm 4.4.0.1126.123
linux-image-lowlatency 4.4.0.248.254
linux-image-lowlatency-lts-xenial 4.4.0.248.254
linux-image-virtual 4.4.0.248.254
linux-image-virtual-lts-xenial 4.4.0.248.254

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro):
linux-image-4.4.0-1125-aws 4.4.0-1125.131
linux-image-4.4.0-248-generic 4.4.0-248.282~14.04.1
linux-image-4.4.0-248-lowlatency 4.4.0-248.282~14.04.1
linux-image-aws 4.4.0.1125.122
linux-image-generic-lts-xenial 4.4.0.248.215
linux-image-lowlatency-lts-xenial 4.4.0.248.215
linux-image-virtual-lts-xenial 4.4.0.248.215

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.
