========================================================================= Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5417-1 May 12, 2022 linux, linux-aws, linux-aws-5.13, linux-azure, linux-azure-5.13, linux-gcp, linux-gcp-5.13, linux-hwe-5.13, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-raspi vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 21.10 - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS 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 systems - linux-aws-5.13: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-azure-5.13: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure cloud systems - linux-gcp-5.13: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-hwe-5.13: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel Details: Ke Sun, Alyssa Milburn, Henrique Kawakami, Emma Benoit, Igor Chervatyuk, Lisa Aichele, and Thais Moreira Hamasaki discovered that the Spectre Variant 2 mitigations for AMD processors on Linux were insufficient in some situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2021-26401) It was discovered that the MMC/SD subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle read errors from SD cards in certain situations. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-20008) It was discovered that the USB gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate interface descriptor requests. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-25258) It was discovered that the Remote NDIS (RNDIS) USB gadget implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the size of the RNDIS_MSG_SET command. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-25375) It was discovered that the ST21NFCA NFC driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the size of certain data in EVT_TRANSACTION events. A physically proximate attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-26490) It was discovered that the USB SR9700 ethernet device driver for the Linux kernel did not properly validate the length of requests from the device. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2022-26966) It was discovered that the Xilinx USB2 device gadget driver in the Linux kernel did not properly validate endpoint indices from the host. A physically proximate attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-27223) Miaoqian Lin discovered that the RDMA Transport (RTRS) client implementation in the Linux kernel contained a double-free when handling certain error conditions. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-29156) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 21.10: linux-image-5.13.0-1022-kvm 5.13.0-1022.23 linux-image-5.13.0-1023-aws 5.13.0-1023.25 linux-image-5.13.0-1023-azure 5.13.0-1023.27 linux-image-5.13.0-1025-gcp 5.13.0-1025.30 linux-image-5.13.0-1026-raspi 5.13.0-1026.28 linux-image-5.13.0-1026-raspi-nolpae 5.13.0-1026.28 linux-image-5.13.0-1028-oracle 5.13.0-1028.33 linux-image-5.13.0-41-generic 5.13.0-41.46 linux-image-5.13.0-41-generic-64k 5.13.0-41.46 linux-image-5.13.0-41-generic-lpae 5.13.0-41.46 linux-image-5.13.0-41-lowlatency 5.13.0-41.46 linux-image-aws 5.13.0.1023.24 linux-image-azure 5.13.0.1023.23 linux-image-gcp 5.13.0.1025.23 linux-image-generic 5.13.0.41.50 linux-image-generic-64k 5.13.0.41.50 linux-image-generic-lpae 5.13.0.41.50 linux-image-gke 5.13.0.1025.23 linux-image-kvm 5.13.0.1022.22 linux-image-lowlatency 5.13.0.41.50 linux-image-oem-20.04 5.13.0.41.50 linux-image-oracle 5.13.0.1028.28 linux-image-raspi 5.13.0.1026.31 linux-image-raspi-nolpae 5.13.0.1026.31 linux-image-virtual 5.13.0.41.50 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.13.0-1023-aws 5.13.0-1023.25~20.04.1 linux-image-5.13.0-1023-azure 5.13.0-1023.27~20.04.1 linux-image-5.13.0-1025-gcp 5.13.0-1025.30~20.04.1 linux-image-5.13.0-41-generic 5.13.0-41.46~20.04.1 linux-image-5.13.0-41-generic-64k 5.13.0-41.46~20.04.1 linux-image-5.13.0-41-generic-lpae 5.13.0-41.46~20.04.1 linux-image-5.13.0-41-lowlatency 5.13.0-41.46~20.04.1 linux-image-aws 5.13.0.1023.25~20.04.16 linux-image-azure 5.13.0.1023.27~20.04.12 linux-image-gcp 5.13.0.1025.30~20.04.1 linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-20.04 5.13.0.41.46~20.04.26 linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04 5.13.0.41.46~20.04.26 linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-20.04 5.13.0.41.46~20.04.26 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-20.04 5.13.0.41.46~20.04.26 linux-image-virtual-hwe-20.04 5.13.0.41.46~20.04.26 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.
