Ubuntu Security Notice USN-2174-1
26th April, 2014
linux-ec2 vulnerabilities
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Summary
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software description
- linux-ec2 - Linux kernel for EC2
Details
A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's handling of SCTP handshake. A
remote attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2014-0101)
An error was discovered in the Linux kernel's DCCP protocol support. A
remote attacked could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-2523)
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package version:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
- linux-image-2.6.32-363-ec2 2.6.32-363.76
To update your system, please follow these instructions: http://bit.ly/1aJDvTw.
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.
