Stonejiajia, Shir Tamari and Sagi Tzadik discovered that the OverlayFS implementation in the Ubuntu Linux kernel did not properly perform permission checks in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2023-2640)

Shir Tamari and Sagi Tzadik discovered that the OverlayFS implementation in the Ubuntu Linux kernel did not properly perform permission checks in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to gain elevated privileges. (CVE-2023-32629)

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: - ARM64 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Drivers core; - Bluetooth drivers; - DMA engine subsystem; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Intel Trace Hub HW tracing drivers; - IIO ADC drivers; - IRQ chip drivers; - Modular ISDN driver; - LED subsystem; - UACCE accelerator framework; - Ethernet bonding driver; - Network drivers; - STMicroelectronics network drivers; - Ethernet team driver; - NVME drivers; - PHY drivers; - SLIMbus drivers; - W1 Dallas's 1-wire bus driver; - Xen hypervisor drivers; - BTRFS file system; - Ext4 file system; - Network file system (NFS) client; - Network file system (NFS) server daemon; - NTFS3 file system; - SMB network file system; - NFC subsystem; - BPF subsystem; - IRQ subsystem; - Memory management; - Bluetooth subsystem; - CAN network layer; - Networking core; - IPv4 networking; - IPv6 networking; - L2TP protocol; - NET/ROM layer; - Network traffic control; - SCTP protocol; - TLS protocol; - XFRM subsystem; - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi driver; - USB sound devices; (CVE-2023-53421, CVE-2023-53520, CVE-2023-53662, CVE-2023-54207, CVE-2025-38057, CVE-2025-38125, CVE-2025-38232, CVE-2025-38408, CVE-2025-38591, CVE-2025-40149, CVE-2025-40164, CVE-2025-68211, CVE-2025-68340, CVE-2025-68365, CVE-2025-68725, CVE-2025-68817, CVE-2025-71162, CVE-2025-71163, CVE-2025-71185, CVE-2025-71186, CVE-2025-71188, CVE-2025-71190, CVE-2025-71191, CVE-2025-71194, CVE-2025-71196, CVE-2025-71197, CVE-2025-71199, CVE-2026-22997, CVE-2026-22998, CVE-2026-22999, CVE-2026-23001, CVE-2026-23003, CVE-2026-23011, CVE-2026-23026, CVE-2026-23033, CVE-2026-23037, CVE-2026-23038, CVE-2026-23049, CVE-2026-23056, CVE-2026-23058, CVE-2026-23061, CVE-2026-23063, CVE-2026-23064, CVE-2026-23071, CVE-2026-23073, CVE-2026-23075, CVE-2026-23076, CVE-2026-23078, CVE-2026-23080, CVE-2026-23083, CVE-2026-23084, CVE-2026-23085, CVE-2026-23087, CVE-2026-23089, CVE-2026-23090, CVE-2026-23091, CVE-2026-23093, CVE-2026-23095, CVE-2026-23096, CVE-2026-23097, CVE-2026-23098, CVE-2026-23099, CVE-2026-23101, CVE-2026-23103, CVE-2026-23105, CVE-2026-23108, CVE-2026-23112, CVE-2026-23119, CVE-2026-23120, CVE-2026-23121, CVE-2026-23124, CVE-2026-23125, CVE-2026-23128, CVE-2026-23133, CVE-2026-23145, CVE-2026-23146, CVE-2026-23150, CVE-2026-23164, CVE-2026-23167, CVE-2026-23170, CVE-2026-23209)
