Detail

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

- Ubuntu 16.10

Summary:

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

Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel - linux-raspi2: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2

Details:

It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the trace subsystem in the Linux kernel. A privileged local attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 16.10:
linux-image-4.8.0-1038-raspi2 4.8.0-1038.41
linux-image-4.8.0-54-generic 4.8.0-54.57
linux-image-4.8.0-54-generic-lpae 4.8.0-54.57
linux-image-4.8.0-54-lowlatency 4.8.0-54.57
linux-image-4.8.0-54-powerpc-e500mc 4.8.0-54.57
linux-image-4.8.0-54-powerpc-smp 4.8.0-54.57
linux-image-4.8.0-54-powerpc64-emb 4.8.0-54.57
linux-image-generic 4.8.0.54.66
linux-image-generic-lpae 4.8.0.54.66
linux-image-lowlatency 4.8.0.54.66
linux-image-powerpc-e500mc 4.8.0.54.66
linux-image-powerpc-smp 4.8.0.54.66
linux-image-powerpc64-emb 4.8.0.54.66
linux-image-raspi2 4.8.0.1038.42

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.
