Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3740-1
August 14, 2018

linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-kvm, linux-oem, and
linux-raspi2 vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

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

– Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:
– linux: Linux kernel
– linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems
– linux-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems
– linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems
– linux-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments
– linux-oem: Linux kernel for OEM processors
– linux-raspi2: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2

Details:

It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU
core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the CPU
core. This vulnerability is also known as L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF). A local
attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to expose sensitive
information (memory from other guests or the host OS). (CVE-2018-3646)

It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU
core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the CPU
core. This vulnerability is also known as L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF). A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (memory from the
kernel or other processes). (CVE-2018-3620)

Juha-Matti Tilli discovered that the IP implementation in the Linux kernel
performed algorithmically expensive operations in some situations when
handling incoming packet fragments. A remote attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5391)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
linux-image-4.15.0-1015-oem 4.15.0.1015.17
linux-image-4.15.0-1017-gcp 4.15.0-1017.18
linux-image-4.15.0-1019-aws 4.15.0-1019.19
linux-image-4.15.0-1019-kvm 4.15.0-1019.19
linux-image-4.15.0-1020-raspi2 4.15.0-1020.22
linux-image-4.15.0-1021-azure 4.15.0.1021.21
linux-image-4.15.0-32-generic 4.15.0-32.35
linux-image-4.15.0-32-generic-lpae 4.15.0-32.35
linux-image-4.15.0-32-lowlatency 4.15.0-32.35
linux-image-4.15.0-32-snapdragon 4.15.0-32.35
linux-image-aws 4.15.0.1019.19
linux-image-azure 4.15.0.1021.21
linux-image-azure-edge 4.15.0.1021.21
linux-image-gcp 4.15.0.1017.19
linux-image-generic 4.15.0.32.34
linux-image-generic-lpae 4.15.0.32.34
linux-image-gke 4.15.0.1017.19
linux-image-kvm 4.15.0.1019.19
linux-image-lowlatency 4.15.0.32.34
linux-image-oem 4.15.0.1015.17
linux-image-raspi2 4.15.0.1020.18
linux-image-snapdragon 4.15.0.32.34

Please note that the recommended mitigation for CVE-2018-3646 involves
updating processor microcode in addition to updating the kernel;
however, the kernel includes a fallback for processors that have not
received microcode updates.

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.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.
