Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3762-1
September 11, 2018
linux, linux-aws, linux-azure, linux-gcp, linux-kvm, linux-raspi2
vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were 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-raspi2: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2
Details:
It was discovered that the VirtIO subsystem in the Linux kernel did not
properly initialize memory in some situations. A local attacker could use
this to possibly expose sensitive information (kernel memory).
(CVE-2018-1118)
Seunghun Han discovered an information leak in the ACPI handling code in
the Linux kernel when handling early termination of ACPI table loading. A
local attacker could use this to expose sensitive informal (kernel address
locations). (CVE-2017-13695)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
linux-image-4.15.0-1019-gcp 4.15.0-1019.20
linux-image-4.15.0-1021-aws 4.15.0-1021.21
linux-image-4.15.0-1021-kvm 4.15.0-1021.21
linux-image-4.15.0-1022-raspi2 4.15.0-1022.24
linux-image-4.15.0-1023-azure 4.15.0-1023.24
linux-image-4.15.0-34-generic 4.15.0-34.37
linux-image-4.15.0-34-generic-lpae 4.15.0-34.37
linux-image-4.15.0-34-lowlatency 4.15.0-34.37
linux-image-4.15.0-34-snapdragon 4.15.0-34.37
linux-image-aws 4.15.0.1021.21
linux-image-azure 4.15.0.1023.23
linux-image-azure-edge 4.15.0.1023.23
linux-image-gcp 4.15.0.1019.21
linux-image-generic 4.15.0.34.36
linux-image-generic-lpae 4.15.0.34.36
linux-image-gke 4.15.0.1019.21
linux-image-kvm 4.15.0.1021.21
linux-image-lowlatency 4.15.0.34.36
linux-image-raspi2 4.15.0.1022.20
linux-image-snapdragon 4.15.0.34.36
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.
