========================================================================= Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3056-1 August 10, 2016 linux-raspi2 vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the kernel. Software Description: - linux-raspi2: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2 Details: Ben Hawkes discovered an integer overflow in the Linux netfilter implementation. On systems running 32 bit kernels, a local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. (CVE-2016-3135) It was discovered that the keyring implementation in the Linux kernel did not ensure a data structure was initialized before referencing it after a n error condition occurred. A local attacker could use this to cause a deni al of service (system crash). (CVE-2016-4470) Sasha Levin discovered that a use-after-free existed in the percpu allocator in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. (CVE-2016-4794) Kangjie Lu discovered an information leak in the netlink implementation o f the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory. (CVE-2016-5243) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: linux-image-4.4.0-1019-raspi2 4.4.0-1019.25 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.
