========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5493-1 June 27, 2022
linux, linux-hwe vulnerability ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 21.10 - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS - Ubuntu 16.04 ESM Summary: The system could be made to crash under certain conditions. Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel - linux-hwe: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel Details: It was discovered that the 8 Devices USB2CAN interface implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a double-free. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 21.10: linux-image-5.13.0-52-generic 5.13.0-52.59 linux-image-5.13.0-52-generic-64k 5.13.0-52.59 linux-image-5.13.0-52-generic-lpae 5.13.0-52.59 linux-image-5.13.0-52-lowlatency 5.13.0-52.59 linux-image-generic 5.13.0.52.58 linux-image-generic-64k 5.13.0.52.58 linux-image-generic-lpae 5.13.0.52.58 linux-image-lowlatency 5.13.0.52.58 linux-image-oem-20.04 5.13.0.52.58 linux-image-virtual 5.13.0.52.58 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: linux-image-5.4.0-121-generic 5.4.0-121.137 linux-image-5.4.0-121-generic-lpae 5.4.0-121.137 linux-image-5.4.0-121-lowlatency 5.4.0-121.137 linux-image-generic 5.4.0.121.122 linux-image-generic-lpae 5.4.0.121.122 linux-image-lowlatency 5.4.0.121.122 linux-image-oem 5.4.0.121.122 linux-image-oem-osp1 5.4.0.121.122 linux-image-virtual 5.4.0.121.122 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: linux-image-4.15.0-188-generic 4.15.0-188.199 linux-image-4.15.0-188-generic-lpae 4.15.0-188.199 linux-image-4.15.0-188-lowlatency 4.15.0-188.199 linux-image-generic 4.15.0.188.173 linux-image-generic-lpae 4.15.0.188.173 linux-image-lowlatency 4.15.0.188.173 linux-image-virtual 4.15.0.188.173 Ubuntu 16.04 ESM: linux-image-4.15.0-188-generic 4.15.0-188.199~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-188-lowlatency 4.15.0-188.199~16.04.1 linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.188.175 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.188.175 linux-image-oem 4.15.0.188.175 linux-image-virtual-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.188.175 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.
