Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2840-1
December 17, 2015
linux vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description:
– linux: Linux kernel
Details:
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)
Jan Beulich discovered that the KVM svm hypervisor implementation in the
Linux kernel did not properly catch Debug exceptions on AMD processors. An
attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash) in the host OS. (CVE-2015-8104)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
linux-image-3.2.0-96-generic 3.2.0-96.136
linux-image-3.2.0-96-generic-pae 3.2.0-96.136
linux-image-3.2.0-96-highbank 3.2.0-96.136
linux-image-3.2.0-96-omap 3.2.0-96.136
linux-image-3.2.0-96-powerpc-smp 3.2.0-96.136
linux-image-3.2.0-96-powerpc64-smp 3.2.0-96.136
linux-image-3.2.0-96-virtual 3.2.0-96.136
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.

Details:
Jan Beulich discovered that the KVM svm hypervisor implementation in the
Linux kernel did not properly catch Debug exceptions on AMD processors. An

(CVE-2015-7872)
It was discovered that the virtual video osd test driver in the Linux

linux-image-4.2.0-21-powerpc64-smp 4.2.0-21.25
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make

ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2844-1
December 17, 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:
Jan Beulich discovered that the KVM svm hypervisor implementation in the
Linux kernel did not properly catch Debug exceptions on AMD processors. An
attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash) in the host OS. (CVE-2015-8104)
郭永刚 discovered that the ppp implementation in the Linux kernel did
not ensure that certain slot numbers are valid. A local attacker with the
privilege to call ioctl() on /dev/ppp could cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2015-7799)
It was discovered that the driver for Digi Neo and ClassicBoard devices did
not properly initialize data structures. A local attacker could use this to
obtain sensitive information from the kernel. (CVE-2015-7885)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
linux-image-3.16.0-56-generic 3.16.0-56.75~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-56-generic-lpae 3.16.0-56.75~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-56-lowlatency 3.16.0-56.75~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-56-powerpc-e500mc 3.16.0-56.75~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-56-powerpc-smp 3.16.0-56.75~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-56-powerpc64-emb 3.16.0-56.75~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-56-powerpc64-smp 3.16.0-56.75~14.04.1
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.
