========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3145-1 November 30, 2016 linux 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: Linux kernel Details: Marco Grassi discovered that the driver for Areca RAID Controllers in the Linux kernel did not properly validate control messages. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges. (CVE-2016-7425) Daxing Guo discovered a stack-based buffer overflow in the Broadcom IEEE802.11n FullMAC driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly gain privileges. (CVE-2016-8658) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: linux-image-3.13.0-103-generic 3.13.0-103.150 linux-image-3.13.0-103-generic-lpae 3.13.0-103.150 linux-image-3.13.0-103-lowlatency 3.13.0-103.150 linux-image-3.13.0-103-powerpc-e500 3.13.0-103.150 linux-image-3.13.0-103-powerpc-e500mc 3.13.0-103.150 linux-image-3.13.0-103-powerpc-smp 3.13.0-103.150 linux-image-3.13.0-103-powerpc64-emb 3.13.0-103.150 linux-image-3.13.0-103-powerpc64-smp 3.13.0-103.150 linux-image-generic 3.13.0.103.111 linux-image-generic-lpae 3.13.0.103.111 linux-image-lowlatency 3.13.0.103.111 linux-image-omap 3.13.0.103.111 linux-image-powerpc-e500mc 3.13.0.103.111 linux-image-powerpc-smp 3.13.0.103.111 linux-image-powerpc64-emb 3.13.0.103.111 linux-image-powerpc64-smp 3.13.0.103.111 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.
