Detail

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

- Ubuntu 11.04

Summary:

Multiple kernel flaws have been fixed.

Software Description: - linux: Linux kernel

Details:

Timo Warns discovered that the GUID partition parsing routines did not correctly validate certain structures. A local attacker with physical access could plug in a specially crafted block device to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1577)

Phil Oester discovered that the network bonding system did not correctly handle large queues. On some systems, a remote attacker could send specially crafted traffic to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1581)

Vasiliy Kulikov discovered that taskstats listeners were not correctly handled. A local attacker could expoit this to exhaust memory and CPU resources, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2484)

Sami Liedes discovered that ext4 did not correctly handle missing root inodes. A local attacker could trigger the mount of a specially crafted filesystem to cause the system to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2493)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 11.04:
linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic 2.6.38-11.48
linux-image-2.6.38-11-generic-pae 2.6.38-11.48
linux-image-2.6.38-11-omap 2.6.38-11.48
linux-image-2.6.38-11-powerpc 2.6.38-11.48
linux-image-2.6.38-11-powerpc-smp 2.6.38-11.48
linux-image-2.6.38-11-powerpc64-smp 2.6.38-11.48
linux-image-2.6.38-11-server 2.6.38-11.48
linux-image-2.6.38-11-versatile 2.6.38-11.48
linux-image-2.6.38-11-virtual 2.6.38-11.48

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