linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-kvm, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.
Software Description
It was discovered that an integer overflow existed in the Linux kernel when reference counting pages, leading to potential use-after-free issues. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-11487)
Jann Horn discovered that a race condition existed in the Linux kernel when performing core dumps. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or expose sensitive information. (CVE-2019-11599)
It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly zero out memory in some situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2019-11833)
It was discovered that the Bluetooth Human Interface Device Protocol (HIDP) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly verify strings were NULL terminated in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2019-11884)
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 19.04
linux-image-5.0.0-1011-aws - 5.0.0-1011.12
linux-image-5.0.0-1011-gcp - 5.0.0-1011.11
linux-image-5.0.0-1011-kvm - 5.0.0-1011.12
linux-image-5.0.0-1012-azure - 5.0.0-1012.12
linux-image-5.0.0-1013-raspi2 - 5.0.0-1013.13
linux-image-5.0.0-1017-snapdragon - 5.0.0-1017.18
linux-image-5.0.0-21-generic - 5.0.0-21.22
linux-image-5.0.0-21-generic-lpae - 5.0.0-21.22
linux-image-5.0.0-21-lowlatency - 5.0.0-21.22
linux-image-aws - 5.0.0.1011.11
linux-image-azure - 5.0.0.1012.11
linux-image-gcp - 5.0.0.1011.11
linux-image-generic - 5.0.0.21.22
linux-image-generic-lpae - 5.0.0.21.22
linux-image-gke - 5.0.0.1011.11
linux-image-kvm - 5.0.0.1011.11
linux-image-lowlatency - 5.0.0.21.22
linux-image-raspi2 - 5.0.0.1013.10
linux-image-snapdragon - 5.0.0.1017.10
linux-image-virtual - 5.0.0.21.22
To update your system, please follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.
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.
