INSTALLING THE UPDATES We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy install these updates. On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf, these updates will be installed automatically and you do not need to take any action. Alternatively, you can install these updates by running: # /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y DESCRIPTION * CVE-2024-50036: Privilege escalation in Networking driver.

A local attacker could use this flaw to extract sensitive information. * CVE-2024-50110: Information leak in Transformation user configuration interface driver. A logic error when dumping information in the Transformation user configuration interface driver could lead to use of uninitialized memory. A local attacker could use this flaw to extract sensitive information. * CVE-2024-50115: Privilege escalation in KVM SVM driver. A missing check when retrieving nested guest pages in the KVM SVM driver could lead to an out-of-bounds memory access. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate privileges. * CVE-2024-50142: Denial-of-service in transformation user configuration interface. A logic error when using the transformation user configuration interface could lead to an integer overflow. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service. * CVE-2024-50151: Privilege escalation in SMB3 and CIFS driver. A missing check when using the SMB3 and CIFS driver could lead to an out-of-bounds memory access. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate privileges. * CVE-2024-50195, CVE-2024-50210: Denial-of-service in dynamic POSIX clock driver. A missing check when using the dynamic POSIX clock driver could lead to invalid time being set. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service or other types of attacks (since other kernel parts or drivers may depend on the set time). * CVE-2024-50208: Privilege escalation in Broadcom Netxtreme HCA driver. A logic error when using the Broadcom Netxtreme HCA driver could lead to an out-of-bounds memory access. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate privileges. * CVE-2024-50218: Denial-of-service in OCFS2 file system driver. A missing check when using the OCFS2 file system driver could lead to a kernel assertion failure. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service. * CVE-2024-50244: Denial-of-service in NTFS file system. A missing check in the NTFS file system could lead to accessing an uninitialized bitmap during replay process. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service. * CVE-2024-50247: Privilege escalation in NTFS file system. A logic error in the NTFS file system could lead to an out-of-bounds memory access. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate privileges. * CVE-2024-50249: Denial-of-service in ACPI subsystem. A locking error in the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) subsystem could lead to instability in CPU performance scaling and power management functionality during high-performance workloads or when switching power states. A local attacker could potentially use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service. * CVE-2024-50251: Denial-of-service in Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter) driver. A missing check when using the Network packet filtering framework (Netfilter) driver could lead to a kernel assertion failure. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service. * CVE-2024-50265: Denial-of-service in OCFS2 filesystem driver. A logic error when setting extended attributes in the OCFS2 filesystem driver could lead to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service. * CVE-2024-50268: Information leak in UCSI driver for Cypress CCGx controllers. A missing check in the USB Type-C Connector System Software Interface driver for Cypress CCGx controllers could lead to an out-of-bounds memory access. A local attacker with access to debugfs could use this flaw to extract sensitive information. * CVE-2024-50273: Denial-of-service in Btrfs filesystem driver. A logic error when handling delayed reference counting in the Btrfs filesystem driver could lead to a use-after-free. A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service. * CVE-2024-50278, CVE-2024-50279: Privilege escalation in Multiple Device Cache Target driver. Logic errors when manipulating cache in the Multiple Device Cache Target driver could lead to an out-of-bounds memory access. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate privileges. * CVE-2024-50301: Privilege escalation in Keyring subsystem. A missing check when checking if a key can be used in the Keyring subsystem could lead to an out-of-bounds memory access. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate privileges. * CVE-2024-53104: Code execution in USB Video Class (UVC) driver. A missing check when using the USB Video Class (UVC) driver could lead to an out-of-bounds memory write. A local attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code in kernel mode. * Note: Oracle has determined that CVE-2024-40953 is not applicable. Missing atomicity barriers in the KVM driver when using a variable to fetch a vCPU could potentially lead to an out-of-bounds memory access. Oracle has determined that the kernel is not affected by this vulnerability. * Note: Oracle has determined that CVE-2024-50171 is not applicable. A logic error in the Broadcom System Port Ethernet MAC driver could potentially lead to a memory leak when mapping DMA buffers. The kernel is not affected by this vulnerability since the code under consideration is not compiled. * Note: Oracle has determined that CVE-2024-50245 is not applicable. A locking error in the NTFS file system could potentially lead to a deadlock. Oracle has determined that the kernel is not affected by this vulnerability. * Note: Oracle has determined some CVEs are not applicable. The kernel is not affected by the following CVEs since the code under consideration is not compiled.
