Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-4950-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-raspi' package(s) announced via the USN-4950-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-raspi' package(s) announced via the USN-4950-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Ryota Shiga discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel did
not properly verify that a BPF program only reserved as much memory for a
ring buffer as was allocated. A local attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3489)

Manfred Paul discovered that the eBPF implementation in the Linux kernel
did not properly track bounds on bitwise operations. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2021-3490)

Billy Jheng Bing-Jhong discovered that the io_uring implementation of the
Linux kernel did not properly enforce the MAX_RW_COUNT limit in some
situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3491)

Norbert Slusarek discovered that the CAN ISOTP protocol implementation
in the Linux kernel contained a race condition. A local attacker could
use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly
execute arbitrary code. Please note that to address this issue,
SF_BROADCAST support was removed temporarily from the CAN ISOTP
implementation in Ubuntu 21.04 kernels. (LP: #1927409)

Affected Software/OS:
'linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-kvm, linux-oracle, linux-raspi' package(s) on Ubuntu 21.04.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
