Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2823-1
December 01, 2015
linux 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: Linux kernel
Details:
It was discovered that the SCTP protocol implementation in the Linux kernel
performed an incorrect sequence of protocol-initialization steps. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2015-5283)
Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the Linux kernel’s keyring handler attempted
to garbage collect incompletely instantiated keys. A local unprivileged
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).
(CVE-2015-7872)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
linux-image-3.13.0-71-generic 3.13.0-71.114
linux-image-3.13.0-71-generic-lpae 3.13.0-71.114
linux-image-3.13.0-71-lowlatency 3.13.0-71.114
linux-image-3.13.0-71-powerpc-e500 3.13.0-71.114
linux-image-3.13.0-71-powerpc-e500mc 3.13.0-71.114
linux-image-3.13.0-71-powerpc-smp 3.13.0-71.114
linux-image-3.13.0-71-powerpc64-emb 3.13.0-71.114
linux-image-3.13.0-71-powerpc64-smp 3.13.0-71.114
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.
