Several security issues were fixed in the kernel. Andrey Konovalov discovered that the AF_PACKET implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain block-size data. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). Andrey Konovalov discovered a use-after-free vulnerability in the DCCP implementation in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain administrative privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
42b1d7e92d487c05901f19f08b2e6c9e119556985c2054e46a019c3a3bd7bf0dUbuntu Security Notice 3168-2 - USN-3168-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement kernel from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the KVM implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly initialize the Code Segment in certain error cases. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. Baozeng Ding discovered a race condition that could lead to a use-after- free in the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. Andrey Konovalov discovered that signed integer overflows existed in the setsockopt system call when handling the SO_SNDBUFFORCE and SO_RCVBUFFORCE options. A local attacker with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
