Software description linux – Linux kernel Details Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the IPv6 implementation in the Linux kerneldid not properly handle options data, including a use-after-free. A localattacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) orpossibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3841) It was discovered that a race condition existed when handling heartbeat-timeout events in the SCTP implementation of the Linux kernel. A remoteattacker could use this to cause a denial of service.

been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.<\/p>\nReferences<\/h3>\n
