==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7071-2
November 14, 2024

linux-gke vulnerability
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Summary:

The system could be compromised under certain conditions.

Software Description:
- linux-gke: Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems

Details:

A security issue was discovered in the Linux kernel.
An attacker could possibly use this to compromise the system.
This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems:
  - Network traffic control;
(CVE-2024-45016)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
  linux-image-6.8.0-1012-gke      6.8.0-1012.15
  linux-image-gke                 6.8.0-1012.15

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.
