oxide-qt vulnerabilities

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

• Ubuntu 16.10
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
• Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary

Several security issues were fixed in Oxide.

Software description

• oxide-qt
  – Web browser engine for Qt (QML plugin)

Details

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Chromium. If a user were
tricked in to opening a specially crafted website, an attacker could
potentially exploit these to obtain sensitive information, spoof
application UI by causing the security status API or webview URL to
indicate the wrong values, bypass security restrictions, cause a denial
of service via application crash, or execute arbitrary code.

linux, linux-aws, linux-gke, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon vulnerability

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

• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary

The system could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator.

Software description

• linux
  – Linux kernel

• linux-aws
  – Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems

• linux-gke
  – Linux kernel for Google Container Engine (GKE) systems

• linux-raspi2
  – Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2

• linux-snapdragon
  – Linux kernel for Snapdragon Processors

Details

It was discovered that the xfrm framework for transforming packets in the
Linux kernel did not properly validate data received from user space. A
local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)
or execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges.

Update instructions

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

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

linux-image-gke 4.4.0.1009.11

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.
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.
