Ubuntu Security Notice 4007-1 - Federico Manuel Bento discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly apply Address Space Layout Randomization in some situations for setuid a.out binaries. A local attacker could use this to improve the chances of exploiting an existing vulnerability in a setuid a.out binary. As a hardening measure, this update disables a.out support.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4007-1
June 04, 2019

linux, linux-aws, linux-gcp, linux-kvm, linux-oem, linux-oracle,
linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Summary:

A system hardening measure could be bypassed.

Software Description:
- linux: Linux kernel
- linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
- linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
- linux-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments
- linux-meta:
- linux-oem: Linux kernel for OEM processors
- linux-oracle: Linux kernel for Oracle Cloud systems
- linux-raspi2: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2
- linux-snapdragon: Linux kernel for Snapdragon processors

Details:

Federico Manuel Bento discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly
apply Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) in some situations for
setuid a.out binaries. A local attacker could use this to improve the
chances of exploiting an existing vulnerability in a setuid a.out binary.

As a hardening measure, this update disables a.out support.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
linux-image-4.15.0-1014-oracle 4.15.0-1014.16
linux-image-4.15.0-1033-gcp 4.15.0-1033.35
linux-image-4.15.0-1035-kvm 4.15.0-1035.35
linux-image-4.15.0-1037-raspi2 4.15.0-1037.39
linux-image-4.15.0-1039-oem 4.15.0-1039.44
linux-image-4.15.0-1040-aws 4.15.0-1040.42
linux-image-4.15.0-1054-snapdragon 4.15.0-1054.58
linux-image-4.15.0-51-generic 4.15.0-51.55
linux-image-4.15.0-51-generic-lpae 4.15.0-51.55
linux-image-4.15.0-51-lowlatency 4.15.0-51.55
linux-image-aws 4.15.0.1040.39
linux-image-gcp 4.15.0.1033.35
linux-image-generic 4.15.0.51.53
linux-image-generic-lpae 4.15.0.51.53
linux-image-kvm 4.15.0.1035.35
linux-image-lowlatency 4.15.0.51.53
linux-image-oem 4.15.0.1039.43
linux-image-oracle 4.15.0.1014.17
linux-image-raspi2 4.15.0.1037.35
linux-image-snapdragon 4.15.0.1054.57

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.
