USN-5295-1: Linux kernel (HWE) vulnerabilities
18 February 2022
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Releases
o Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Packages
o linux-hwe-5.13 - Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel
Details
It was discovered that the Packet network protocol implementation in the
Linux kernel contained a double-free vulnerability. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute
arbitrary code. ( CVE-2021-22600 )
Jann Horn discovered a race condition in the Unix domain socket
implementation in the Linux kernel that could result in a read-after-free.
A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)
or possibly execute arbitrary code. ( CVE-2021-4083 )
Kirill Tkhai discovered that the XFS file system implementation in the
Linux kernel did not calculate size correctly when pre-allocating space in
some situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive
information. ( CVE-2021-4155 )
Sushma Venkatesh Reddy discovered that the Intel i915 graphics driver in
the Linux kernel did not perform a GPU TLB flush in some situations. A
local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly
execute arbitrary code. ( CVE-2022-0330 )
It was discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU driver in the Linux kernel
did not properly handle certain failure conditions, leading to a stale
entry in the file descriptor table. A local attacker could use this to
expose sensitive information or possibly gain administrative privileges.
( CVE-2022-22942 )
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package
versions:
Ubuntu 20.04
o linux-image-5.13.0-30-lowlatency - 5.13.0-30.33~20.04.1
o linux-image-generic-hwe-20.04 - 5.13.0.30.33~20.04.17
o linux-image-5.13.0-30-generic-lpae - 5.13.0-30.33~20.04.1
o linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-20.04 - 5.13.0.30.33~20.04.17
o linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-20.04 - 5.13.0.30.33~20.04.17
o linux-image-virtual-hwe-20.04 - 5.13.0.30.33~20.04.17
o linux-image-5.13.0-30-generic - 5.13.0-30.33~20.04.1
o linux-image-5.13.0-30-generic-64k - 5.13.0-30.33~20.04.1
o linux-image-generic-64k-hwe-20.04 - 5.13.0.30.33~20.04.17
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.
