Ubuntu 24.04: Linux Kernel Critical Flaws Data Leak 7833-2
USN‑7833‑2 addresses multiple vulnerabilities in the Linux realtime kernel for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, including AMD store buffer data inference (CVE‑2024‑36350, CVE‑2024‑36357) and a very large set of subsystem issues. Updates require reboot and third‑party module recompilation due to ABI changes.
CORTEX Protocol Intelligence Assessment
Business Impact: Kernel‑level flaws can enable privilege escalation, data leakage, and service disruption—priority patch. Technical Context: Affects broad kernel subsystems (x86/ARM64, drivers, filesystems, networking, BPF, io_uring).
Strategic Intelligence Guidance
- Patch to linux‑image‑6.14.0‑1014‑realtime immediately and reboot.
- Rebuild out‑of‑tree kernel modules post‑update.
- Audit for exploit attempts via kernel oops and unusual syscalls.
- Harden exposed services and limit untrusted local access.
