USN-3386-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3386-1 10th August, 2017 linux vulnerabilities A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Summary Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software description linux – Linux kernel Details Andrey Konovalov discovered a race condition in the UDP FragmentationOffload (UFO) code in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this tocause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-1000112) Andrey Konovalov discovered a race condition in AF_PACKET socket optionhandling code in the Linux kernel. A local unprivileged attacker could usethis to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-1000111) Update instructions The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package version: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: linux-image-3.13.0-128-powerpc-smp 3.13.0-128.177 linux-image-powerpc-smp 3.13.0.128.137 linux-image-powerpc-e500mc 3.13.0.128.137 linux-image-3.13.0-128-powerpc64-emb 3.13.0-128.177 linux-image-3.13.0-128-powerpc64-smp 3.13.0-128.177 linux-image-lowlatency 3.13.0.128.137 linux-image-3.13.0-128-generic [ more… ]
