Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3292-1
May 17, 2017
linux, linux-raspi2 vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 16.10
Summary:
The system could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator.
Software Description:
– linux: Linux kernel
– linux-raspi2: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2
Details:
Jason Donenfeld discovered a heap overflow in the MACsec module in the
Linux kernel. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 16.10:
linux-image-4.8.0-1036-raspi2 4.8.0-1036.39
linux-image-4.8.0-52-generic 4.8.0-52.55
linux-image-4.8.0-52-generic-lpae 4.8.0-52.55
linux-image-4.8.0-52-lowlatency 4.8.0-52.55
linux-image-4.8.0-52-powerpc-e500mc 4.8.0-52.55
linux-image-4.8.0-52-powerpc-smp 4.8.0-52.55
linux-image-4.8.0-52-powerpc64-emb 4.8.0-52.55
linux-image-generic 4.8.0.52.64
linux-image-generic-lpae 4.8.0.52.64
linux-image-lowlatency 4.8.0.52.64
linux-image-powerpc-e500mc 4.8.0.52.64
linux-image-powerpc-smp 4.8.0.52.64
linux-image-powerpc64-emb 4.8.0.52.64
linux-image-raspi2 4.8.0.1036.40
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.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3292-2
May 17, 2017
linux-hwe vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
– Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Summary:
The system could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator.
Software Description:
– linux-hwe: Linux hardware enablement (HWE) kernel
Details:
USN-3292-1 fixed a vulnerability in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.10.
This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware
Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 16.10 for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Jason Donenfeld discovered a heap overflow in the MACsec module in the
Linux kernel. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
linux-image-4.8.0-52-generic 4.8.0-52.55~16.04.1
linux-image-4.8.0-52-generic-lpae 4.8.0-52.55~16.04.1
linux-image-4.8.0-52-lowlatency 4.8.0-52.55~16.04.1
