USN-8668-2: Linux kernel (Raspberry Pi) vulnerabilities

Official source
EudorIA operational summary

What it means

Priority 75/100

Ubuntu ha rilasciato un aggiornamento di sicurezza (USN-8668-2) per il kernel Linux, che include correzioni per diverse vulnerabilità. Tra queste, CVE-2023-45896 riguarda un out-of-bounds read nell'implementazione NTFS, mentre CVE-2025-54505 e CVE-2025-54518 sono correlati a problemi di AMD. L'aggiornamento include correzioni per diversi sottosistemi del kernel, tra cui DRBD, hardware crypto e dispositivi di rete. Gli utenti devono riavviare il sistema e riconfigurare eventuali moduli kernel terzi.

Why it matters

Le vulnerabilità potrebbero permettere a un attaccante di esporre informazioni sensibili o elevare i privilegi, mettendo a rischio la sicurezza delle infrastrutture informatiche delle PMI. L'aggiornamento è essenziale per ridurre il rischio di attacchi e garantire la continuità operativa.

Potential operational benefits

  • Riduzione della superficie esposta alle vulnerabilità
  • Miglioramento della protezione contro accessi non autorizzati
  • Riduzione del rischio di compromissione del sistema

Text acquired from the source

Maxim Suhanov discovered that the NTFS file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate file name length in certain situations, leading to an out-of-bounds read. An attacker could use this to construct a malicious NTFS image that, when mounted and operated on, could expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2023-45896) It was discovered that some AMD processors did not properly clear data in the floating point divider unit during speculative execution. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2025-54505) It was discovered that some AMD Zen 2 processors did not properly isolate shared resources in the operation cache. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to corrupt instructions executed at a higher privilege level, resulting in privilege escalation. (CVE-2025-54518) Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM32 architecture; - ARM64 architecture; - MIPS architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - ACPI drivers; - ATM drivers; - Drivers core; - Power management core; - DRBD Distributed Replicated Block Device drivers; - RNBD block device driver; - Bluetooth drivers; - Bus devices; - Character device driver; - TPM device driver; - Clocksource drivers; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - CPU idle management framework; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - DMA engine subsystem; - Arm Firmware Framework for ARMv8-A(FFA); - EFI core; - GPIO subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - I2C subsystem; - IIO subsystem;
