Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2635-1
June 10, 2015
linux-lts-utopic vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description:
– linux-lts-utopic: Linux hardware enablement kernel from Utopic
Details:
Xiong Zhou discovered a bug in the way the EXT4 filesystem handles
fallocate zero range functionality when the page size is greater than the
block size. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of
service (system crash). (CVE-2015-0275)
Wen Xu discovered a use-after-free flaw in the Linux kernel’s ipv4 ping
support. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or gain administrative privileges on the system.
(CVE-2015-3636)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
linux-image-3.16.0-39-generic 3.16.0-39.53~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-39-generic-lpae 3.16.0-39.53~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-39-lowlatency 3.16.0-39.53~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-39-powerpc-e500mc 3.16.0-39.53~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-39-powerpc-smp 3.16.0-39.53~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-39-powerpc64-emb 3.16.0-39.53~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-39-powerpc64-smp 3.16.0-39.53~14.04.1
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. If
you use linux-restricted-modules, you have to update that package as
well to get modules which work with the new kernel version. Unless you
manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic,
linux-server, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically
perform this as well.
