Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6706-1
March 20, 2024
linux-oem-6.1 vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Summary:
The system could be made to crash under certain conditions.
Software Description:
- linux-oem-6.1: Linux kernel for OEM systems
Details:
It was discovered that the Microchip USB Ethernet driver in the Linux
kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use-
after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service (system crash).
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
   linux-image-6.1.0-1036-oem      6.1.0-1036.36
   linux-image-oem-22.04a          6.1.0.1036.37
   linux-image-oem-22.04b          6.1.0.1036.37
   linux-image-oem-22.04c          6.1.0.1036.37
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
