Detail

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

- Ubuntu 11.10

Summary:

The system could be made to crash under certain conditions.

Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel

Details:

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 11.10:
linux-image-3.0.0-25-generic 3.0.0-25.41
linux-image-3.0.0-25-generic-pae 3.0.0-25.41
linux-image-3.0.0-25-omap 3.0.0-25.41
linux-image-3.0.0-25-powerpc 3.0.0-25.41
linux-image-3.0.0-25-powerpc-smp 3.0.0-25.41
linux-image-3.0.0-25-powerpc64-smp 3.0.0-25.41
linux-image-3.0.0-25-server 3.0.0-25.41
linux-image-3.0.0-25-virtual 3.0.0-25.41

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.

Title: VMware ESX updates to third party libraries
Description: The rds_ib_xmit function in net/rds/ib_send.c in the Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) protocol implementation in the Linux kernel 3.7.4 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (BUG_ON and kernel panic) by establishing an RDS connection with the source IP address equal to the IPoIB interface's own IP address, as demonstrated by rds-ping.
