Ubuntu Security Notice 4068-1 - Adam Zabrocki discovered that the Intel i915 kernel mode graphics driver in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict mmap ranges in some situations. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a race condition leading to a use-after-free existed in the Reliable Datagram Sockets protocol implementation in the Linux kernel. The RDS protocol is blacklisted by default in Ubuntu. If enabled, a local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
