Detail

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

- Ubuntu 14.10

Summary:

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

Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel

Details:

A race condition between chown() and execve() was discovered in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could exploit this race by using chown on a setuid-user-binary to gain administrative privileges.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 14.10:
linux-image-3.16.0-37-generic 3.16.0-37.49
linux-image-3.16.0-37-generic-lpae 3.16.0-37.49
linux-image-3.16.0-37-lowlatency 3.16.0-37.49
linux-image-3.16.0-37-powerpc-e500mc 3.16.0-37.49
linux-image-3.16.0-37-powerpc-smp 3.16.0-37.49
linux-image-3.16.0-37-powerpc64-emb 3.16.0-37.49
linux-image-3.16.0-37-powerpc64-smp 3.16.0-37.49

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.
