A Linux kernel security update has been released for Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS.

[USN-6386-3] Linux kernel vulnerabilities

==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6386-3
October 03, 2023

linux-intel-iotg, linux-intel-iotg-5.15, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-5.15
vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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-intel-iotg: Linux kernel for Intel IoT platforms
- linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems
- linux-intel-iotg-5.15: Linux kernel for Intel IoT platforms
- linux-oracle-5.15: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems

Details:

Jana Hofmann, Emanuele Vannacci, Cedric Fournet, Boris Kopf, and Oleksii
Oleksenko discovered that some AMD processors could leak stale data from
division operations in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly
use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-20588)

It was discovered that the bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel did not
properly handle L2CAP socket release, leading to a use-after-free
vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-40283)

It was discovered that some network classifier implementations in the Linux
kernel contained use-after-free vulnerabilities. A local attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-4128)

Lonial Con discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel
contained a memory leak when handling certain element flush operations. A
local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel
memory). (CVE-2023-4569)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
linux-image-5.15.0-1040-intel-iotg 5.15.0-1040.46
linux-image-5.15.0-1044-oracle 5.15.0-1044.50
linux-image-intel-iotg 5.15.0.1040.40
linux-image-oracle 5.15.0.1044.39
linux-image-oracle-lts-22.04 5.15.0.1044.39

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
linux-image-5.15.0-1040-intel-iotg 5.15.0-1040.46~20.04.1
linux-image-5.15.0-1044-oracle 5.15.0-1044.50~20.04.1
linux-image-intel 5.15.0.1040.46~20.04.31
linux-image-intel-iotg 5.15.0.1040.46~20.04.31
linux-image-oracle 5.15.0.1044.50~20.04.1

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.
