========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3150-1 December 05, 2016 linux vulnerability ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Summary: The system could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator. Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel Details: Philip Pettersson discovered a race condition in the af_packet implementation in the Linux kernel. A local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or run arbitrary code with administrative privileges. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: linux-image-3.2.0-118-generic 3.2.0-118.161 linux-image-3.2.0-118-generic-pae 3.2.0-118.161 linux-image-3.2.0-118-highbank 3.2.0-118.161 linux-image-3.2.0-118-omap 3.2.0-118.161 linux-image-3.2.0-118-powerpc-smp 3.2.0-118.161 linux-image-3.2.0-118-powerpc64-smp 3.2.0-118.161 linux-image-3.2.0-118-virtual 3.2.0-118.161 linux-image-generic 3.2.0.118.133 linux-image-generic-pae 3.2.0.118.133 linux-image-highbank 3.2.0.118.133 linux-image-omap 3.2.0.118.133 linux-image-powerpc-smp 3.2.0.118.133 linux-image-powerpc64-smp 3.2.0.118.133 linux-image-virtual 3.2.0.118.133 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.
