Detail

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

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

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

Software Description: - linux-lts-utopic: Linux hardware enablement kernel from Utopic

Details:

It was discovered that the Linux kernel's Infiniband subsystem did not properly sanitize its input parameters while registering memory regions from userspace. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) or to potentially gain administrative privileges.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
linux-image-3.16.0-31-generic 3.16.0-31.43~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-31-generic-lpae 3.16.0-31.43~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-31-lowlatency 3.16.0-31.43~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-31-powerpc-e500mc 3.16.0-31.43~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-31-powerpc-smp 3.16.0-31.43~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-31-powerpc64-emb 3.16.0-31.43~14.04.1
linux-image-3.16.0-31-powerpc64-smp 3.16.0-31.43~14.04.1

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes.
