========================================================================= Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4950-1 May 11, 2021 linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-raspi vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 21.04 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-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems - linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments - linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems - linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi (V8) systems Details: Ryota Shiga discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly verify that a BPF program only reserved as much memory for a ring buffer as was allocated. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3489) Manfred Paul discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly track bounds on bitwise operations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3490) Billy Jheng Bing-Jhong discovered that the io_uring implementation of the Linux kernel did not properly enforce the MAX_RW_COUNT limit in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3491) Norbert Slusarek discovered that the CAN ISOTP protocol implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. Please note that to address this issue, SF_BROADCAST support was removed temporarily from the CAN ISOTP implementation in Ubuntu 21.04 kernels. (LP: #1927409) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 21.04: linux-image-5.11.0-1005-azure 5.11.0-1005.5 linux-image-5.11.0-1006-oracle 5.11.0-1006.6 linux-image-5.11.0-1007-aws 5.11.0-1007.7 linux-image-5.11.0-1007-gcp 5.11.0-1007.7 linux-image-5.11.0-1007-kvm 5.11.0-1007.7 linux-image-5.11.0-1008-raspi 5.11.0-1008.8 linux-image-5.11.0-1008-raspi-nolpae 5.11.0-1008.8 linux-image-5.11.0-17-generic 5.11.0-17.18 linux-image-5.11.0-17-generic-64k 5.11.0-17.18 linux-image-5.11.0-17-generic-lpae 5.11.0-17.18 linux-image-5.11.0-17-lowlatency 5.11.0-17.18 linux-image-aws 5.11.0.1007.7 linux-image-azure 5.11.0.1005.5 linux-image-gcp 5.11.0.1007.7 linux-image-generic 5.11.0.17.18 linux-image-generic-64k 5.11.0.17.18 linux-image-generic-lpae 5.11.0.17.18 linux-image-gke 5.11.0.1007.7 linux-image-kvm 5.11.0.1007.7 linux-image-lowlatency 5.11.0.17.18 linux-image-oracle 5.11.0.1006.6 linux-image-raspi 5.11.0.1008.6 linux-image-raspi-nolpae 5.11.0.1008.6 linux-image-virtual 5.11.0.17.18 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.
