USN-3264-2: Linux kernel (Trusty HWE) vulnerability Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3264-2 24th April, 2017 linux-lts-trusty vulnerability A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Summary The system could be made to crash under certain conditions. Software description linux-lts-trusty – Linux hardware enablement kernel from Trusty for Precise Details USN-3264-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 14.04LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the LinuxHardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for Ubuntu12.04 LTS. Alexander Popov discovered that a race condition existed in the StreamControl Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation in the Linux kernel. Alocal attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). Update instructions The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package version: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: linux-image-3.13.0-117-generic 3.13.0-117.164~precise1 linux-image-3.13.0-117-generic-lpae 3.13.0-117.164~precise1 linux-image-generic-lpae-lts-trusty 3.13.0.117.108 linux-image-generic-lts-trusty [ more… ]
