Ubuntu Security Notice 4008-1 - Robert Swiecki discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly apply Address Space Layout Randomization in some situations for setuid elf binaries. A local attacker could use this to improve the chances of exploiting an existing vulnerability in a setuid elf binary. It was discovered that a null pointer dereference vulnerability existed in the LSI Logic MegaRAID driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.
