Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2240-1
June 05, 2014

linux vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.

Software Description:
– linux: Linux kernel

Details:

Pinkie Pie discovered a flaw in the Linux kernel’s futex subsystem. An
unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of
service (system crash) or gain administrative privileges. (CVE-2014-3153)

An information leak was discovered in the netfilter subsystem of the Linux
kernel. An attacker could exploit this flaw to obtain sensitive information
from kernel memory. (CVE-2014-2568)

Sasha Levin reported a bug in the Linux kernel’s virtual memory management
subsystem. An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to cause a
denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2014-3122)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
linux-image-3.13.0-29-generic 3.13.0-29.53
linux-image-3.13.0-29-generic-lpae 3.13.0-29.53
linux-image-3.13.0-29-lowlatency 3.13.0-29.53
linux-image-3.13.0-29-powerpc-e500 3.13.0-29.53
linux-image-3.13.0-29-powerpc-e500mc 3.13.0-29.53
linux-image-3.13.0-29-powerpc-smp 3.13.0-29.53
linux-image-3.13.0-29-powerpc64-emb 3.13.0-29.53
linux-image-3.13.0-29-powerpc64-smp 3.13.0-29.53

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.
