[USN-6897-1] Ghostscript vulnerabilities


==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6897-1
July 15, 2024

ghostscript vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in Ghostscript.

Software Description:
- ghostscript: PostScript and PDF interpreter

Details:

It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain long PDF
filter names. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause
Ghostscript to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-29506)

It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain API
parameters. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Ghostscript
to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu
24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-29507)

It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain BaseFont
names. An attacker could use this issue to cause Ghostscript to crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2024-29508)

It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain PDF
passwords that contained NULL bytes. An attacker could use this issue to
cause Ghostscript to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-29509)

It was discovered that Ghostscript incorrectly handled certain certain file
paths when doing OCR. An attacker could use this issue to read arbitrary
files and write error messages to arbitrary files. This issue only affected
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2024-29511)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
ghostscript 10.02.1~dfsg1-0ubuntu7.3
libgs10 10.02.1~dfsg1-0ubuntu7.3

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
ghostscript 9.55.0~dfsg1-0ubuntu5.9
libgs9 9.55.0~dfsg1-0ubuntu5.9

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
ghostscript 9.50~dfsg-5ubuntu4.13
libgs9 9.50~dfsg-5ubuntu4.13

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux: Linux kernel
- linux-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems
- linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
- linux-gke: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems

Details:

Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not
properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to
cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-38096)

Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel
contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A
privileged attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2024-23307)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem
in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs.
A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2024-24857, CVE-2024-24858, CVE-2024-24859)

Bai Jiaju discovered that the Xceive XC4000 silicon tuner device driver in
the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow
vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24861)

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the Unsorted Block Images (UBI) flash device
volume management subsystem did not properly validate logical eraseblock
sizes in certain situations. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-25739)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.

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.
