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

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in OpenJDK 6.

Software Description:
- openjdk-6: Open Source Java implementation

Details:

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the OpenJDK JRE related to
information disclosure, data integrity and availability. An attacker could
exploit these to cause a denial of service or expose sensitive data over
the network. (CVE-2014-2490, CVE-2014-4216, CVE-2014-4219, CVE-2014-4262)

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the OpenJDK JRE related to
information disclosure and data integrity. An attacker could exploit these
to expose sensitive data over the network. (CVE-2014-4209, CVE-2014-4244,
CVE-2014-4263)

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in the OpenJDK JRE related to data
integrity. (CVE-2014-4218, CVE-2014-4266)

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in the OpenJDK JRE related to
information disclosure. An attacker could exploit these to expose sensitive
data over the network. (CVE-2014-4252, CVE-2014-4268)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
icedtea-6-jre-cacao 6b32-1.13.4-4ubuntu0.12.04.2
icedtea-6-jre-jamvm 6b32-1.13.4-4ubuntu0.12.04.2
openjdk-6-jre 6b32-1.13.4-4ubuntu0.12.04.2
openjdk-6-jre-headless 6b32-1.13.4-4ubuntu0.12.04.2
openjdk-6-jre-lib 6b32-1.13.4-4ubuntu0.12.04.2
openjdk-6-jre-zero 6b32-1.13.4-4ubuntu0.12.04.2

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
icedtea-6-jre-cacao 6b32-1.13.4-4ubuntu0.10.04.2
openjdk-6-jre 6b32-1.13.4-4ubuntu0.10.04.2
openjdk-6-jre-headless 6b32-1.13.4-4ubuntu0.10.04.2
openjdk-6-jre-lib 6b32-1.13.4-4ubuntu0.10.04.2
openjdk-6-jre-zero 6b32-1.13.4-4ubuntu0.10.04.2

This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart any Java
applications or applets to make all the necessary changes.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2313-1
August 13, 2014

linux-lts-trusty vulnerability
==========================================================================

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

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

The system could be made to crash under certain conditions.

Software Description:
- linux-lts-trusty: Linux hardware enablement kernel from Trusty

Details:

An flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's audit subsystem when auditing
certain syscalls. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to obtain
potentially sensitive single-bit values from kernel memory or cause a
denial of service (OOPS).

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
linux-image-3.13.0-33-generic 3.13.0-33.58~precise1
linux-image-3.13.0-33-generic-lpae 3.13.0-33.58~precise1

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.
