    Summary: linux, linux-gkeop, linux-ibm, linux-ibm-5.15, linux-kvm, linux-lowlatency, linux-lowlatency-hwe-5.15, linux-oracle-5.15 vulnerabilities

    Details: Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth L2CAP implementation in the Linux kernel contained a type-confusion error. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-12351) Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth A2MP implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize memory in some situations. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). (CVE-2020-12352) Andy Nguyen discovered that the Bluetooth HCI event packet parser in the Linux kernel did not properly handle event advertisements of certain sizes, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. A physically proximate remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-24490) 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: - GPU drivers; - Media drivers; - Network drivers; - SMB network file system; - Bluetooth subsystem; - Amateur Radio drivers; - Network traffic control; - VMware vSockets driver; (CVE-2024-43904, CVE-2024-35963, CVE-2024-35967, CVE-2024-40973, CVE-2024-26822, CVE-2024-35965, CVE-2024-40910, CVE-2024-38553, CVE-2024-53057, CVE-2024-50264, CVE-2024-35966)
