Ubuntu patches multiple Linux kernel (Azure) flaws across ARM64, Bluetooth, Netfilter, NTFS3, SMB and other subsystems.
Ubuntu security notice USN-8761-1 corrects several security issues in the Linux kernel for Azure, spanning ARM32, ARM64, and PowerPC architectures plus subsystems including Bluetooth, Netfilter, EFI core, GPU drivers, InfiniBand, SCSI, NTFS3, and SMB. An attacker could possibly use these flaws to compromise the system.
Canonical issues USN-8760-1 patching multiple Linux kernel (NVIDIA) vulnerabilities across numerous subsystems and CPU architectures.
Canonical published USN-8760-1 to correct several Linux kernel (NVIDIA) vulnerabilities that an attacker could possibly use to compromise the system. The update fixes flaws spanning UAPI, the kernel build system, ARM32, ARM64, RISC-V, S390, and x86 architectures. Patched subsystems also include the block layer, cryptographic API, Compute Acceleration Framework, Intel NPU driver, ACPI and Bluetooth drivers, and the hardware random number generator core.
ZDI publishes ZDI-26-572, a CVSS 7.5 race condition local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel's XFRM subsystem.
The Zero Day Initiative disclosed a race condition in the Linux kernel's XFRM (transform) subsystem allowing local attackers to escalate privileges. Exploitation requires the attacker to first run high-privileged code on the affected system. The advisory carries a CVSS rating of 7.5; no CVE id is listed in the disclosure text.
ZDI publishes ZDI-26-570, a CVSS 7.5 race condition local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel's IGMP subsystem.
The Zero Day Initiative disclosed a race condition in the Linux kernel's IGMP subsystem that allows local attackers to escalate privileges. Exploitation requires the attacker to first execute high-privileged code on the target system. ZDI assigned a CVSS rating of 7.5 to this finding; no CVE id is stated in the advisory text.
ZDI publishes ZDI-26-569, a CVSS 7.5 race condition local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel net scheduler true link equalizer.
The Zero Day Initiative disclosed a race condition in the Linux kernel's net scheduler true link equalizer component enabling local privilege escalation. Exploitation requires the attacker to first run high-privileged code on the target system. The advisory carries a CVSS rating of 7.5; no CVE id is listed in the disclosure text.
ZDI publishes ZDI-26-575, a CVSS 7.5 TOCTOU local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel net scheduler packet classifier API.
The Zero Day Initiative disclosed a time-of-check time-of-use flaw in the Linux kernel's net scheduler packet classifier API that permits local privilege escalation. Exploitation requires the attacker to first execute high-privileged code on the target system. ZDI assigned a CVSS rating of 7.5; no CVE id is provided in the text.
