Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2737-1
September 09, 2015
linux-lts-vivid vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
The system could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator.
Software Description:
– linux-lts-vivid: Linux hardware enablement kernel from Vivid
Details:
It was discovered that an integer overflow error existed in the SCSI
generic (sg) driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker with write
permission to a SCSI generic device could use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash) or potentially escalate their privileges.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
linux-image-3.19.0-28-generic 3.19.0-28.30~14.04.1
linux-image-3.19.0-28-generic-lpae 3.19.0-28.30~14.04.1
linux-image-3.19.0-28-lowlatency 3.19.0-28.30~14.04.1
linux-image-3.19.0-28-powerpc-e500mc 3.19.0-28.30~14.04.1
linux-image-3.19.0-28-powerpc-smp 3.19.0-28.30~14.04.1
linux-image-3.19.0-28-powerpc64-emb 3.19.0-28.30~14.04.1
linux-image-3.19.0-28-powerpc64-smp 3.19.0-28.30~14.04.1
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.
