USN-3035-2: Linux kernel (Raspberry Pi 2) vulnerability Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3035-2 14th July, 2016 linux-raspi2 vulnerability A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: Ubuntu 15.10 Summary The system could be made to crash under certain conditions. Software description linux-raspi2 – Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2 Details Jan Stancek discovered that the Linux kernel's memory manager did notproperly handle moving pages mapped by the asynchronous I/O (AIO) ringbuffer to the other nodes. A local attacker could use this to cause adenial of service (system crash). Update instructions The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package version: Ubuntu 15.10: linux-image-4.2.0-1034-raspi2 4.2.0-1034.44 To update your system, please follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.
