Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6726-3

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6726-3
Posted Apr 17, 2024
Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 6726-3 - Pratyush Yadav discovered that the Xen network backend implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle zero length data request, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation of the Linux kernel did not properly manage route cache memory usage. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

linux-xilinx-zynqmp vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-xilinx-zynqmp: Linux kernel for Xilinx ZynqMP processors

Details:

Pratyush Yadav discovered that the Xen network backend implementation in
the Linux kernel did not properly handle zero length data request, leading
to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. An attacker in a guest VM
could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (host domain crash).
(CVE-2023-46838)

It was discovered that the IPv6 implementation of the Linux kernel did not
properly manage route cache memory usage. A remote attacker could use this
to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2023-52340)

It was discovered that the device mapper driver in the Linux kernel did not
properly validate target size during certain memory allocations. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2023-52429, CVE-2024-23851)

Dan Carpenter discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel
did not store data in properly sized memory locations. A local user could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-0607)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
- Architecture specifics;
- Cryptographic API;
- Android drivers;
- EDAC drivers;
- GPU drivers;
- Media drivers;
- MTD block device drivers;
- Network drivers;
- NVME drivers;
- TTY drivers;
- Userspace I/O drivers;
- F2FS file system;
- GFS2 file system;
- IPv6 Networking;
- AppArmor security module;
(CVE-2023-52464, CVE-2023-52448, CVE-2023-52457, CVE-2023-52443,
CVE-2023-52439, CVE-2023-52612, CVE-2024-26633, CVE-2024-26597,
CVE-2023-52449, CVE-2023-52444, CVE-2023-52609, CVE-2023-52469,
CVE-2023-52445, CVE-2023-52451, CVE-2023-52470, CVE-2023-52454,
CVE-2023-52436, CVE-2023-52438)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
linux-image-5.4.0-1041-xilinx-zynqmp 5.4.0-1041.45
linux-image-xilinx-zynqmp 5.4.0.1041.41

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.
