Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-6700-2)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-aws' package(s) announced via the USN-6700-2 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-aws' package(s) announced via the USN-6700-2 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) implementation in the Linux kernel contained a race condition when releasing PPPoL2TP sockets in certain conditions, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-20567) It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle block device modification while it is mounted. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2023-34256) Eric Dumazet discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle DCCP conntrack buffers in certain situations, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-39197) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the AppleTalk networking subsystem of the Linux kernel, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-51781) It was discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle the remount operation in certain cases, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly expose sensitive information. (CVE-2024-0775) Notselwyn discovered that the netfilter subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle verdict parameters in certain cases, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-1086) It was discovered that a race condition existed in the SCSI Emulex LightPulse Fibre Channel driver in the Linux kernel when unregistering FCF and re-scanning an HBA FCF table, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-24855) Affected Software/OS: 'linux-aws' package(s) on Ubuntu 16.04. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C
