Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2660-1

7th July, 2015

linux vulnerability

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

• Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary

The system could be made to expose sensitive information over the
local applications.

Software description

• linux
  – Linux kernel

Details

A race condition was discovered in the Linux kernel’s file_handle size
verification. A local user could exploit this flaw to read potentially
sensative memory locations.

Update instructions

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

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:

linux-image-3.2.0-87-powerpc64-smp

3.2.0-87.125

linux-image-3.2.0-87-powerpc-smp

3.2.0-87.125

linux-image-3.2.0-87-generic-pae

3.2.0-87.125

linux-image-3.2.0-87-virtual

3.2.0-87.125

linux-image-3.2.0-87-highbank

3.2.0-87.125

linux-image-3.2.0-87-omap

3.2.0-87.125

linux-image-3.2.0-87-generic

3.2.0-87.125

To update your system, please follow these instructions:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades.

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-ti-omap4 vulnerability

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

• Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary

The system could be made to expose sensitive information to local
applications.

Software description

• linux-ti-omap4
  – Linux kernel for OMAP4

Details

A race condition was discovered in the Linux kernel’s file_handle size
verification. A local user could exploit this flaw to read potentially
sensative memory locations.

Update instructions

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

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:

linux-image-3.2.0-1467-omap4

3.2.0-1467.88

To update your system, please follow these instructions:

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2662-1

7th July, 2015

linux-lts-trusty vulnerabilities

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

• Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary

Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.

Software description

• linux-lts-trusty
  – Linux hardware enablement kernel from Trusty

Details

Alexandre Oliva reported a race condition flaw in the btrfs file system’s
handling of extended attributes (xattrs). A local attacker could exploit
this flaw to bypass ACLs and potentially escalate privileges.
(CVE-2014-9710)

A race condition was discovered in the Linux kernel’s file_handle size
verification. A local user could exploit this flaw to read potentially
sensative memory locations. (CVE-2015-1420)

A underflow error was discovered in the Linux kernel’s Ozmo Devices USB
over WiFi host controller driver. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw
to cause a denial of service (system crash) or potentially execute
arbitrary code via a specially crafted packet. (CVE-2015-4001)

A bounds check error was discovered in the Linux kernel’s Ozmo Devices USB
over WiFi host controller driver. A remote attacker could exploit this flaw
to cause a denial of service (system crash) or potentially execute
arbitrary code via a specially crafted packet. (CVE-2015-4002)

A division by zero error was discovered in the Linux kernel’s Ozmo Devices
USB over WiFi host controller driver. A remote attacker could exploit this
flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2015-4003)

Carl H Lunde discovered missing sanity checks in the the Linux kernel’s UDF
file system (CONFIG_UDF_FS). A local attacker could exploit this flaw to
cause a denial of service (system crash) by using a corrupted file system
image. (CVE-2015-4167)

Update instructions

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

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:

linux-image-3.13.0-57-generic-lpae

3.13.0-57.95~precise1
