Detail

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

- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

The system could be made to crash under certain conditions.

Software Description: - linux-ec2: Linux kernel for EC2

Details:

Louis Rilling discovered a flaw in Linux kernel's clone command when CLONE_IO is specified. An unprivileged local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
linux-image-2.6.32-344-ec2 2.6.32-344.46

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.
