Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1913-1
July 29, 2013

linux-ec2 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-ec2: Linux kernel for EC2

Details:

Jonathan Salwan discovered an information leak in the Linux kernel's cdrom
driver. A local user can exploit this leak to obtain sensitive information
from kernel memory if the CD-ROM drive is malfunctioning. (CVE-2013-2164)

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel when an IPv6 socket is used to
connect to an IPv4 destination. An unprivileged local user could exploit
this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2013-2232)

An information leak was discovered in the IPSec key_socket implementation
in the Linux kernel. An local user could exploit this flaw to examine
potentially sensitive information in kernel memory. (CVE-2013-2234)

An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's IPSec key_socket
when using the notify_policy interface. A local user could exploit this
flaw to examine potentially sensitive information in kernel memory.
(CVE-2013-2237)

Kees Cook discovered a format string vulnerability in the Linux kernel's
disk block layer. A local user with administrator privileges could exploit
this flaw to gain kernel privileges. (CVE-2013-2851)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
linux-image-2.6.32-355-ec2 2.6.32-355.68

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.

openssl vulnerability
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 13.04
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Applications could be made to expose sensitive information over the
network.

Software Description:
- openssl: Secure Socket Layer (SSL) cryptographic library and tools

Details:

The TLS protocol 1.2 and earlier can encrypt compressed data without
properly obfuscating the length of the unencrypted data, which allows
man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain plaintext content by observing
length differences during a series of guesses in which a provided string
potentially matches an unknown string in encrypted and compressed traffic.
This is known as a CRIME attack in HTTP. Other protocols layered on top of
TLS may also make these attacks practical.

This update disables compression for all programs using SSL and TLS
provided by the OpenSSL library. To re-enable compression for programs
that need compression to communicate with legacy services, define the
variable OPENSSL_DEFAULT_ZLIB in the program's environment.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 13.04:
libssl1.0.0 1.0.1c-4ubuntu8.1

Ubuntu 12.10:
libssl1.0.0 1.0.1c-3ubuntu2.5

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libssl1.0.0 1.0.1-4ubuntu5.10

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libssl0.9.8 0.9.8k-7ubuntu8.15

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

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.

linux-ec2 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-ec2: Linux kernel for EC2

Details:

Dmitry Monakhov reported a race condition flaw the Linux ext4 filesystem
that can expose stale data. An unprivileged user could exploit this flaw to
cause an information leak. (CVE-2012-4508)

An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's tkill and tgkill
system calls when used from compat processes. A local user could exploit
this flaw to examine potentially sensitive kernel memory. (CVE-2013-2141)

A format string vulnerability was discovered in Broadcom B43 wireless
driver for the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to gain
administrative privileges. (CVE-2013-2852)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
linux-image-2.6.32-354-ec2 2.6.32-354.67

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
