USN-4005-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities<\/p>\n
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:<\/p>\n
Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.<\/p>\n
It was discovered that a null pointer dereference vulnerability existed in
\nthe LSI Logic MegaRAID driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could
\nuse this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2019-11810)<\/p>\n
It was discovered that a race condition leading to a use-after-free existed
\nin the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation in the Linux
\nkernel. The RDS protocol is blacklisted by default in Ubuntu. If enabled, a
\nlocal attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)
\nor possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-11815)<\/p>\n
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:<\/p>\n

\nall the necessary changes.<\/p>\n
\nbeen given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
\nreinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
\nUnless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
\n(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
\nlinux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
\nthis as well.<\/p>\nReferences<\/h2>\n
