Detail

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

- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

The system could be made to crash under certain conditions.

Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel

Details:

Jan Stancek discovered that the Linux kernel's memory manager did not properly handle moving pages mapped by the asynchronous I/O (AIO) ring buffer to the other nodes. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash).

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
linux-image-3.13.0-92-generic 3.13.0-92.139
linux-image-3.13.0-92-generic-lpae 3.13.0-92.139
linux-image-3.13.0-92-lowlatency 3.13.0-92.139
linux-image-3.13.0-92-powerpc-e500 3.13.0-92.139
linux-image-3.13.0-92-powerpc-e500mc 3.13.0-92.139
linux-image-3.13.0-92-powerpc-smp 3.13.0-92.139
linux-image-3.13.0-92-powerpc64-emb 3.13.0-92.139
linux-image-3.13.0-92-powerpc64-smp 3.13.0-92.139

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. Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages (e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual, linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform this as well.
