Ubuntu Security Notice 4007-1 - Federico Manuel Bento discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly apply Address Space Layout Randomization in some situations for setuid a.out binaries. A local attacker could use this to improve the chances of exploiting an existing vulnerability in a setuid a.out binary. As a hardening measure, this update disables a.out support.
