AI-suggested
A patch is available and has been released in Linux kernel version 6.17.0-1010.10. Users should update their systems to this version or later to address these vulnerabilities. After updating, a system reboot is required to apply all changes. Due to an ABI change, third-party kernel modules must be recompiled and reinstalled. Follow the vendor advisory at https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8094-5 for detailed update instructions.
Description
Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in the Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems, including issues in the AppArmor Linux kernel Security Module (LSM) that allow unprivileged local attackers to manipulate AppArmor profiles, potentially causing denial of service, exposure of kernel memory, local privilege escalation, or container escape. Additionally, AMD Zen 5 processors supporting the RDSEED instruction were found to improperly handle entropy, possibly allowing local attackers to influence random values, leading to confidentiality and integrity loss. Numerous other kernel subsystems and drivers were also affected by various security flaws.
