Detail
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Summary: A regression that caused boot failures was fixed in the Linux kernel. Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel - linux-aws: Linux kernel for Amazon Web Services (AWS) systems - linux-azure: Linux kernel for Microsoft Azure Cloud systems - linux-gcp: Linux kernel for Google Cloud Platform (GCP) systems - linux-kvm: Linux kernel for cloud environments - linux-oem: Linux kernel for OEM processors Details: USN-3695-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Unfortunately, the fix for CVE-2018-1108 introduced a regression where insufficient early entropy prevented services from starting, leading in some situations to a failure to boot, This update addresses the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience. Original advisory details: Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel's implementation of random Wen Xu discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux It was discovered that the cdrom driver in the Linux kernel contained an Wen Xu discovered that the ext4 file system implementation in the Linux Jann Horn discovered that the 32 bit adjtimex() syscall implementation for It was discovered that an information leak vulnerability existed in the Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: 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.
