Posted Jun 29, 2017

Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 3345-1 - USN 3324-1 fixed a vulnerability in the Linux kernel. However, that fix introduced regressions for some Java applications. This update addresses the issue. Roee Hay discovered that the parallel port printer driver in the Linux kernel did not properly bounds check passed arguments. A local attacker with write access to the kernel command line arguments could use this to execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
