Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1910-1
July 29, 2013

bind9 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:

Bind could be made to crash if it received specially crafted network
traffic.

Software Description:
- bind9: Internet Domain Name Server

Details:

Maxim Shudrak discovered that Bind incorrectly handled certain malformed
rdata. A remote attacker could use this flaw with a specially crafted
query to cause Bind to stop responding, resulting in a denial of service.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 13.04:
bind9 1:9.9.2.dfsg.P1-2ubuntu2.1
libdns95 1:9.9.2.dfsg.P1-2ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 12.10:
bind9 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4.2ubuntu3.3
libdns81 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4.2ubuntu3.3

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
bind9 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.7
libdns81 1:9.8.1.dfsg.P1-4ubuntu0.7

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
bind9 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1ubuntu0.10
libdns64 1:9.7.0.dfsg.P1-1ubuntu0.10

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

lcms2 vulnerability
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 13.04
- Ubuntu 12.10
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Little CMS could be made to crash if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- lcms2: Little CMS 2 color management library

Details:

It was discovered that Little CMS did not properly verify certain memory
allocations. If a user or automated system using Little CMS were tricked
into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could cause Little CMS
to crash.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 13.04:
liblcms2-2 2.4-0ubuntu3.1

Ubuntu 12.10:
liblcms2-2 2.2+git20110628-2ubuntu4.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
liblcms2-2 2.2+git20110628-2ubuntu3.1

After a standard system update you need to restart any applications that
uses Little CMS to make all the necessary changes.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1913-1

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.
