[Steve Beattie]

==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5267-3
February 17, 2022

linux-raspi, linux-raspi-5.4 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-raspi: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems
- linux-raspi-5.4: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi systems

Details:

USN-5267-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. This
update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux kernel
for Raspberry Pi devices.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel
 contained 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-2021-3640)

 Likang Luo discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth
 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-2021-3752)

 Luo Likang discovered that the FireDTV Firewire driver in the Linux kernel
 did not properly perform bounds checking in some situations. A local
 attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
 possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-42739)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
  linux-image-5.4.0-1052-raspi    5.4.0-1052.58
  linux-image-raspi               5.4.0.1052.86
  linux-image-raspi2              5.4.0.1052.86

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
  linux-image-5.4.0-1052-raspi    5.4.0-1052.58~18.04.1
  linux-image-raspi-hwe-18.04     5.4.0.1052.54

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.
