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

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel.

Software Description:

Details:

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel.

(CVE-2024-50299, CVE-2024-53217)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
linux-image-3.13.0-211-generic 3.13.0-211.262
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-3.13.0-211-lowlatency 3.13.0-211.262
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-generic 3.13.0.211.221
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-generic-lts-quantal 3.13.0.211.221
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-generic-lts-raring 3.13.0.211.221
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-generic-lts-saucy 3.13.0.211.221
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-generic-lts-trusty 3.13.0.211.221

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.
