========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3386-2 August 11, 2017
linux-lts-trusty vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 12.04 ESM Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux-lts-trusty: Linux hardware enablement kernel from Trusty for Precise ESM Details: USN-3386-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM. Andrey Konovalov discovered a race condition in the UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) code in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-1000112) Andrey Konovalov discovered a race condition in AF_PACKET socket option handling code in the Linux kernel. A local unprivileged attacker could use this 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 versions: Ubuntu 12.04 ESM: linux-image-3.13.0-128-generic 3.13.0-128.177~precise1 linux-image-3.13.0-128-generic-lpae 3.13.0-128.177~precise1 linux-image-generic-lpae-lts-trusty 3.13.0.128.118 linux-image-generic-lts-trusty 3.13.0.128.118 After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes. ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have 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.
