Back Linuxsecurity Ubuntu 24.04 LTS USN-7879-2: Linux Kernel Critical Local Access Threats
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-realtime-6.14: Linux kernel for Real-time systems Details: It was discovered that improper initialization of CPU cache memory could allow a local attacker with hypervisor access to overwrite SEV-SNP guest memory resulting in loss of data integrity. (CVE-2024-36331) 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: - ARM64 architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Network block device driver; - Character device driver; - Clock framework and drivers; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - Device frequency scaling framework; - DMA engine subsystem; - EDAC drivers;

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS linux-image-6.14.0-1016-realtime 6.14.0-1016.16~24.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-realtime-6.14 6.14.0-1016.16~24.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro linux-image-realtime-hwe-24.04 6.14.0-1016.16~24.04.1 Available with Ubuntu Pro 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.
