========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1489-1 June 29, 2012 linux-lts-backport-oneiric vulnerability ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Summary: The system could be made to crash if it received specially crafted network traffic. Software Description: - linux-lts-backport-oneiric: Linux kernel backport from Oneiric Details: A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's NFSv4 (Network file system) handling of ACLs (access control lists). A remote NFS server (attacker) could cause a denial of service (OOPS). Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: linux-image-3.0.0-22-generic 3.0.0-22.36~lucid1 linux-image-3.0.0-22-generic-pae 3.0.0-22.36~lucid1 linux-image-3.0.0-22-server 3.0.0-22.36~lucid1 linux-image-3.0.0-22-virtual 3.0.0-22.36~lucid1 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.
