========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3982-1 May 14, 2019 linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel - linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments - linux-raspi2: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2 - linux-snapdragon: Linux kernel for Snapdragon processors Details: Ke Sun, Henrique Kawakami, Kekai Hu, Rodrigo Branco, Giorgi Maisuradze, Dan Horea Lutas, Andrei Lutas, Volodymyr Pikhur, Stephan van Schaik, Alyssa Milburn, Sebastian Österlund, Pietro Frigo, Kaveh Razavi, Herbert Bos, Cristiano Giuffrida, Moritz Lipp, Michael Schwarz, and Daniel Gruss discovered that memory previously stored in microarchitectural fill buffers of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the same CPU core. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2018-12130) Brandon Falk, Ke Sun, Henrique Kawakami, Kekai Hu, Rodrigo Branco, Stephan van Schaik, Alyssa Milburn, Sebastian Österlund, Pietro Frigo, Kaveh Razavi, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that memory previously stored in microarchitectural load ports of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the same CPU core. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2018-12127) Ke Sun, Henrique Kawakami, Kekai Hu, Rodrigo Branco, Marina Minkin, Daniel Moghimi, Moritz Lipp, Michael Schwarz, Jo Van Bulck, Daniel Genkin, Daniel Gruss, Berk Sunar, Frank Piessens, and Yuval Yarom discovered that memory previously stored in microarchitectural store buffers of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the same CPU core. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2018-12126) Ke Sun, Henrique Kawakami, Kekai Hu, Rodrigo Branco, Volodrmyr Pikhur, Moritz Lipp, Michael Schwarz, Daniel Gruss, Stephan van Schaik, Alyssa Milburn, Sebastian Österlund, Pietro Frigo, Kaveh Razavi, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that uncacheable memory previously stored in microarchitectural buffers of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the same CPU core. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2019-11091) Matteo Croce, Natale Vinto, and Andrea Spagnolo discovered that the cgroups subsystem of the Linux kernel did not properly account for SCTP socket buffers. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2019-3874) Alex Williamson discovered that the vfio subsystem of the Linux kernel did not properly limit DMA mappings. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion). (CVE-2019-3882) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: linux-image-4.4.0-1046-kvm 4.4.0-1046.52 linux-image-4.4.0-1083-aws 4.4.0-1083.93 linux-image-4.4.0-1109-raspi2 4.4.0-1109.117 linux-image-4.4.0-1113-snapdragon 4.4.0-1113.118 linux-image-4.4.0-148-generic 4.4.0-148.174 linux-image-4.4.0-148-generic-lpae 4.4.0-148.174 linux-image-4.4.0-148-lowlatency 4.4.0-148.174 linux-image-4.4.0-148-powerpc-e500mc 4.4.0-148.174 linux-image-4.4.0-148-powerpc-smp 4.4.0-148.174 linux-image-4.4.0-148-powerpc64-emb 4.4.0-148.174 linux-image-4.4.0-148-powerpc64-smp 4.4.0-148.174 linux-image-aws 4.4.0.1083.86 linux-image-generic 4.4.0.148.156 linux-image-generic-lpae 4.4.0.148.156 linux-image-kvm 4.4.0.1046.46 linux-image-lowlatency 4.4.0.148.156 linux-image-powerpc-e500mc 4.4.0.148.156 linux-image-powerpc-smp 4.4.0.148.156 linux-image-powerpc64-emb 4.4.0.148.156 linux-image-powerpc64-smp 4.4.0.148.156 linux-image-raspi2 4.4.0.1109.109 linux-image-snapdragon 4.4.0.1113.105 linux-image-virtual 4.4.0.148.156 After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
