Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1425-1
April 24, 2012
linux vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description:
- linux: Linux kernel
Details:
Sasha Levin discovered a flaw in the permission checking for device
assignments requested via the kvm ioctl in the Linux kernel. A local user
could use this flaw to crash the system causing a denial of service.
(CVE-2011-4347)
Stephan B??rwolf discovered a flaw in the KVM (kernel-based virtual
machine) subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local unprivileged user can crash
use this flaw to crash VMs causing a deny of service. (CVE-2012-0045)
A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's cifs file system. An
unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to crash the system leading
to a denial of service. (CVE-2012-1090)
H. Peter Anvin reported a flaw in the Linux kernel that could crash the
system. A local user could exploit this flaw to crash the system.
(CVE-2012-1097)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
linux-image-2.6.32-41-386 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-generic 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-generic-pae 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-ia64 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-lpia 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-powerpc 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-powerpc-smp 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-powerpc64-smp 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-preempt 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-server 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-sparc64 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-sparc64-smp 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-versatile 2.6.32-41.88
linux-image-2.6.32-41-virtual 2.6.32-41.88
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed. If
you use linux-restricted-modules, you have to update that package as
well to get modules which work with the new kernel version. Unless you
manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic,
linux-server, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically
perform this as well.
