Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS Released With Linux 7.0 Kernel and Latest Security Updates

Canonical released Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS with a Linux 7.0 HWE kernel and bundled security fixes; no specific CVEs are disclosed.

Canonical released Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS, the fifth maintenance point release of the 24.04 'Noble Numbat' LTS, with new installation media that bundles accumulated security patches and bug fixes. The Hardware Enablement kernel stack moves to Linux 7.0 with Mesa 26.2, pulled from Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, while the GA kernel remains on the 6.8 series, and Livepatch covers the 7.0 HWE kernel on x86-64. Nine official flavors were updated simultaneously; standard support runs through May 2029 with ESM available to 2034, and the release notes do not enumerate specific CVEs.

Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS release patches security bugs across ten flavors

Canonical ships Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS point release bundling security fixes into fresh install media for desktop, server and nine other flavors.

Canonical released Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS, a point release for the Noble Numbat series that folds accumulated security corrections and high-severity bug fixes into new installation media. Nine flavors including Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Studio and Edubuntu also moved to 24.04.5. Existing 22.04 LTS users receive the fixes through the automatic upgrade path at no cost. The release notes name no CVEs or bug IDs, and support timelines still count from the original 24.04 launch date (five years for Desktop/Server/Cloud/Core, three for flavors, extendable with Expanded Security Maintenance).

2026-005: High Vulnerability in the Linux Kernel ("Copy Fail")

Linux kernel flaw CVE-2026-31431 ('Copy Fail', CVSS 7.8) allows unprivileged users to gain root via AF_ALG; a public PoC is out and most distros remain unpatched.

Disclosed on 29 April 2026, CVE-2026-31431 is a local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel's algif_aead module (AF_ALG crypto API), CVSS 7.8, stemming from a 2017 in-place optimisation. By chaining an AF_ALG socket operation with splice(), an unprivileged user can write 4 bytes into an arbitrary page-cache page, e.g. corrupting a setuid binary like /usr/bin/su to obtain a root shell. It affects virtually all kernels built since 2017, including Ubuntu 20.04-24.04, Amazon Linux 2023, RHEL 10.1, and SUSE 16; the mainline fix landed 1 April 2026 but no vendor packages were available as of 30 April. CERT-EU recommends the interim mitigation (disable algif_aead) and blocking AF_ALG via seccomp, prioritising Kubernetes nodes and CI/CD runners.

    KissFFT before commit 8a8e66e contains an integer overflow vulnerability in the kiss_fftndr_alloc() function in kiss_fftndr.c where the allocation size calculation dimOther*(dimReal+2)*sizeof(kiss_fft_scalar) overflows signed 32-bit integer arithmetic before being widened to size_t, causing malloc() to allocate an undersized buffer. Attackers can trigger heap buffer overflow by providing crafted dimensions that cause the multiplication to exceed INT_MAX, allowing writes beyond the allocated buffer region when kiss_fftndr() processes the data.

    KissFFT versions prior to the fix commit 1b083165 contain an integer overflow in kiss_fft_alloc() in kiss_fft.c on platforms where size_t is 32-bit. The nfft parameter is not validated before being used in a size calculation (sizeof(kiss_fft_cpx) * (nfft - 1)), which can wrap to a small value when nfft is large. As a result, malloc() allocates an undersized buffer and the subsequent twiddle-factor initialization loop writes nfft elements, causing a heap buffer overflow. This vulnerability only affects 32-bit architectures.

  • Buffer overflow in glibc strfmon() width padding affects glibc 2.38–2.44
    The strfmon() and strfmon_l() functions in the GNU C Library (glibc) versions 2.38 through 2.44 can write past the end of a caller-supplied buffer when a monetary conversion uses right-justified width padding. The overflow occurs when the destination buffer is large enough for the padding itself but too small for an internal memmove operation, with the field width or format string potentially attacker-influenced or a fixed susceptible pattern in the calling code. Successful exploitation yields out-of-bounds memory writes in the context of the calling application, plausibly causing crashes (denial of service) or, depending on heap layout, code execution. Any Linux application linked against glibc 2.38–2.44 that calls strfmon/strfmon_l with such patterns is affected, though no network-facing application impact was known at publication. No public proof of concept or in-the-wild exploitation has been reported, and the issue is not on the CISA KEV list.

    Perl versions through 5.45.1 have out-of-bounds heap reads and writes during regular expression matching via an undersized superlinear cache in S_regmatch. The regex engine's superlinear cache holds one bit per subject position for each participating WHILEM node, so the bit count is the subject length plus one times the number of nodes. Nothing checks that product for positive overflow of the signed 32-bit count: a 286331153 byte subject matched against a pattern with 15 participating nodes stores the count as 14, leaving a two byte cache. The cache is then indexed from the real match…
  • Perl regex engine flaw yields incorrect match results via stale failure flag
    Perl versions from 5.9.4 before 5.41.9 can produce incorrect regular-expression match results because a stale failure flag in the Aho-Corasick prescan (S_find_byclass) is not cleared when a later transition succeeds, causing the prescan to stop before it records an earlier valid match position. The flaw is triggered by alternation patterns where one candidate position is recorded and a later character then forces a fallback through a fail link that succeeds; for example, 'ABCDE' =~ m/ABCF|BCDE|C/ matches C at offset 2 instead of BCDE, and m/ABCF|BCDE|C(G/) fails to match at all. An attacker who controls input to such a regex can make an access-control, validation, or filtering decision resolve incorrectly, either matching the wrong alternative branch or missing a match entirely, with impact rated low (CVSS 5.3, medium). Any application running an affected Perl interpreter whose security-relevant regexes use alternations is exposed, and because Perl ships by default with virtually all Linux and Unix systems the installed base is enormous even though only specific pattern shapes trigger the bug. No public proof-of-concept is known, the issue is not in CISA KEV, and EPSS puts the 30-day exploitation probability at 0.4%, so no exploitation is currently known.
