linux vulnerabilities
==========================
==========================
========================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description:
- linux: Linux kernel
Details:
Andrew Honig reported a flaw in the way KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine=
)
emulated the IOAPIC. A privileged guest user could exploit this flaw to
read host memory or cause a denial of service (crash the host).
(CVE-2013-1798)
An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's rcvmsg path for
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode). A local user could exploit this flaw to=
examine potentially sensitive information from the kernel's stack memory.=
(CVE-2013-3222)
An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's recvmsg path for=
ax25 address family. A local user could exploit this flaw to examine
potentially sensitive information from the kernel's stack memory.
(CVE-2013-3223)
An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's recvmsg path for=
the bluetooth address family. A local user could exploit this flaw to
examine potentially sensitive information from the kernel's stack memory.=
(CVE-2013-3224)
An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's bluetooth rfcomm=
protocol support. A local user could exploit this flaw to examine
potentially sensitive information from the kernel's stack memory.
(CVE-2013-3225)
An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's IRDA (infrared)
support subsystem. A local user could exploit this flaw to examine
potentially sensitive information from the kernel's stack memory.
(CVE-2013-3228)
An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's s390 - z/VM
support. A local user could exploit this flaw to examine potentially
sensitive information from the kernel's stack memory. (CVE-2013-3229)
An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's llc (Logical Lin=
k
Layer 2) support. A local user could exploit this flaw to examine
potentially sensitive information from the kernel's stack memory.
(CVE-2013-3231)
An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's receive message
handling for the netrom address family. A local user could exploit this
flaw to obtain sensitive information from the kernel's stack memory.
(CVE-2013-3232)
An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's Rose X.25 protoc=
ol
layer. A local user could exploit this flaw to examine potentially
sensitive information from the kernel's stack memory. (CVE-2013-3234)
An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel's TIPC (Transparen=
t
Inter Process Communication) protocol implementation. A local user could
exploit this flaw to examine potentially sensitive information from the
kernel's stack memory. (CVE-2013-3235)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
linux-image-2.6.32-48-386 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-generic 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-generic-pae 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-ia64 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-lpia 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-powerpc 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-powerpc-smp 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-powerpc64-smp 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-preempt 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-server 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-sparc64 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-sparc64-smp 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-versatile 2.6.32-48.110
linux-image-2.6.32-48-virtual 2.6.32-48.110
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 automaticall=
y
perform this as well.
