A patch is available from Ubuntu as detailed in security notices USN-8370-1 and USN-8371-1. Users should update their Linux kernel packages to the fixed versions provided for Ubuntu releases 6.8, 6.17, 7.0, and others as applicable, and reboot their systems to apply the updates. Due to an ABI change, recompilation and reinstallation of third-party kernel modules may be necessary. No additional mitigation steps are required beyond applying the official fixes.
Description
Ubuntu Linux kernels 6.8, 6.17, and 7.0 contain AppArmor patches with improper validation of an internal structure size, causing an out-of-bounds read during notification handling. This flaw can be triggered by an unprivileged local user and may lead to disclosure of kernel memory. The vulnerability is part of a broader set of Linux kernel security issues addressed in Ubuntu advisories USN-8370-1 and USN-8371-1, which include fixes for privilege escalation, information disclosure, resource exhaustion, kernel oops, memory corruption, and denial of service related to AppArmor and other subsystems. A patch is available and users are advised to update and reboot their systems to apply the fixes.
