Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1773-1
March 21, 2013

clamav vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in ClamAV.

Software Description:
- clamav: Anti-virus utility for Unix

Details:

Felix Groebert, Mateusz Jurczyk and Gynvael Coldwind discovered multiple
security issues with ClamAV. An attacker could use these issues to cause
ClamAV to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute
arbitrary code.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.10:
clamav 0.97.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.12.10.1
clamav-daemon 0.97.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.12.10.1
libclamav6 0.97.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.12.10.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
clamav 0.97.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.12.04.1
clamav-daemon 0.97.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.12.04.1
libclamav6 0.97.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.12.04.1

Ubuntu 11.10:
clamav 0.97.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.11.10.1
clamav-daemon 0.97.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.11.10.1
libclamav6 0.97.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.11.10.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
clamav 0.97.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.10.04.1
clamav-daemon 0.97.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.10.04.1
libclamav6 0.97.7+dfsg-1ubuntu0.10.04.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

linux-ti-omap4 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.

Software Description:
- linux-ti-omap4: Linux kernel for OMAP4

Details:

Andrew Cooper of Citrix reported a Xen stack corruption in the Linux
kernel. An unprivileged user in a 32bit PVOPS guest can cause the guest
kernel to crash, or operate erroneously. (CVE-2013-0190)

A failure to validate input was discovered in the Linux kernel's Xen
netback (network backend) driver. A user in a guest OS may exploit this
flaw to cause a denial of service to the guest OS and other guest domains.
(CVE-2013-0216)

A memory leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's Xen netback (network
backend) driver. A user in a guest OS could trigger this flaw to cause a
denial of service on the system. (CVE-2013-0217)

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel Xen PCI backend driver. If a PCI
device is assigned to the guest OS, the guest OS could exploit this flaw to
cause a denial of service on the host. (CVE-2013-0231)

Tommi Rantala discovered a flaw in the a flaw the Linux kernels handling of
datagrams packets when the MSG_PEEK flag is specified. An unprivileged
local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system
hang). (CVE-2013-0290)

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's vhost driver used to accelerate
guest networking in KVM based virtual machines. A privileged guest user
could exploit this flaw to crash the host system. (CVE-2013-0311)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 12.10:
linux-image-3.5.0-221-omap4 3.5.0-221.31

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.
