USN-5002-1: Linux kernel (HWE) vulnerability
23 June 2021

The system could be made to run programs as an administrator.
Releases

o Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Packages

o linux-gke-5.3 – Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems
o linux-hwe – Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel
o linux-raspi2-5.3 – Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi (V8) systems

Details

Norbert Slusarek discovered a race condition in the CAN BCM networking
protocol of the Linux kernel leading to multiple use-after-free
vulnerabilities. A local attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary
code.

Update instructions

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

Ubuntu 18.04

o linux-image-gkeop-5.3 – 5.3.0.75.132
o linux-image-gke-5.3 – 5.3.0.1044.27
o linux-image-5.3.0-1044-gke – 5.3.0-1044.47
o linux-image-5.3.0-1041-raspi2 – 5.3.0-1041.43
o linux-image-5.3.0-75-lowlatency – 5.3.0-75.71
o linux-image-5.3.0-75-generic – 5.3.0-75.71
o linux-image-raspi2-hwe-18.04 – 5.3.0.1041.30

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.
