[USN-6625-2] Linux kernel (GCP) vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6625-2
February 08, 2024
linux-gcp, linux-gcp-5.4 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
- linux-gcp-5.4: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
Details:
Marek Marczykowski-Górecki discovered that the Xen event channel
infrastructure implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race
condition. An attacker in a guest VM could possibly use this to cause a
denial of service (paravirtualized device unavailability). (CVE-2023-34324)
Zheng Wang discovered a use-after-free in the Renesas Ethernet AVB driver
in the Linux kernel during device removal. A privileged attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-35827)
It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Linux kernel when
performing operations with kernel objects, leading to an out-of-bounds
write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system
crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-45863)
黄思聪 discovered that the NFC Controller Interface (NCI) implementation in
the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain memory allocation failure
conditions, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2023-46343)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
linux-image-5.4.0-1122-gcp 5.4.0-1122.131
linux-image-gcp-lts-20.04 5.4.0.1122.124
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro):
linux-image-5.4.0-1122-gcp 5.4.0-1122.131~18.04.1
linux-image-gcp 5.4.0.1122.98
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.

libde265 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in libde265.
Software Description:
- libde265: Open H.265 video codec implementation
Details:
It was discovered that libde265 could be made to read out of bounds. If a
user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted
file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2021-35452, CVE-2021-36411, CVE-2022-43238, CVE-2022-43241,
CVE-2022-43242)
It was discovered that libde265 did not properly manage memory. If a user
or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or
execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
(CVE-2021-36408)
It was discovered that libde265 contained a logical error. If a user
or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2021-36409)
It was discovered that libde265 could be made to write out of bounds. If a
user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted
file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-36410, CVE-2022-43235,
CVE-2022-43236, CVE-2022-43237, CVE-2022-43239, CVE-2022-43240,
CVE-2022-43243, CVE-2022-43248, CVE-2022-43252, CVE-2022-43253)
It was discovered that libde265 could be made to write out of bounds. If a
user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted
file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04
LTS. (CVE-2022-1253)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
libde265-0 1.0.8-1ubuntu0.1
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
libde265-0 1.0.4-1ubuntu0.2
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro):
libde265-0 1.0.2-2ubuntu0.18.04.1~esm2
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro):
libde265-0 1.0.2-2ubuntu0.16.04.1~esm2
