CVEs: CVE-2016-7425
Systems running Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty can now use Ksplice to patch
against the latest Ubuntu Security Notice, USN-3145-1.
INSTALLING THE UPDATES
We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running Ubuntu 14.04
Trusty install these updates.
On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,
these updates will be installed automatically and you do not need to
take any action.
Alternatively, you can install these updates by running:
# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y
DESCRIPTION
* Denial-of-service in apparmor mount tracking.
A local user that has permissions to mount a filesystem could use
this to potentially crash the system.
* CVE-2016-7425: Heap corruption in ARECA SATA/SAS RAID host adapter.
Lack of bounds checking when copying data from userspace could lead to heap
corruption. A local user with the ability to transfer messages to the
ARECA SATA/SAS RAID driver could use this flaw to gain kernel execution.
* Memory corruption when configuring Broadcom 802.11 AP.
Missing data validation when configuring an 802.11 access point using a
Broadcom chipset can allow a privileged local user to trigger kernel
memory corruption and potentially gain elevated privileges.
