==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7328-1
March 05, 2025

linux-aws, linux-gkeop, linux-ibm, linux-intel-iotg,
linux-intel-iotg-5.15, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-5.15, linux-raspi
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-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
- linux-gkeop: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems
- linux-ibm: Linux kernel for IBM cloud systems
- linux-intel-iotg: Linux kernel for Intel IoT platforms
- linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems
- linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems
- linux-intel-iotg-5.15: Linux kernel for Intel IoT platforms
- linux-oracle-5.15: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems

Details:

Attila Szász discovered that the HFS+ file system implementation in the
Linux Kernel contained a heap overflow vulnerability. An attacker could use
a specially crafted file system image that, when mounted, could cause a
denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2025-0927)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
- Block layer subsystem;
(CVE-2024-56672)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
linux-image-5.15.0-1061-gkeop 5.15.0-1061.69
linux-image-5.15.0-1071-ibm 5.15.0-1071.74
linux-image-5.15.0-1073-raspi 5.15.0-1073.76
linux-image-5.15.0-1074-intel-iotg 5.15.0-1074.80
linux-image-5.15.0-1076-oracle 5.15.0-1076.82
linux-image-5.15.0-1079-aws 5.15.0-1079.86
linux-image-aws-lts-22.04 5.15.0.1079.81
linux-image-gkeop 5.15.0.1061.60
linux-image-gkeop-5.15 5.15.0.1061.60
linux-image-ibm 5.15.0.1071.67
linux-image-intel-iotg 5.15.0.1074.74
linux-image-oracle-lts-22.04 5.15.0.1076.72
linux-image-raspi 5.15.0.1073.71
linux-image-raspi-nolpae 5.15.0.1073.71

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
linux-image-5.15.0-1074-intel-iotg 5.15.0-1074.80~20.04.1
linux-image-5.15.0-1076-oracle 5.15.0-1076.82~20.04.1
linux-image-intel 5.15.0.1074.80~20.04.1
linux-image-intel-iotg 5.15.0.1074.80~20.04.1
linux-image-oracle 5.15.0.1076.82~20.04.1

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.
