Ubuntu 10.10 USN-1159-1 Critical: Kernel Flaws and Denial of Service

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 10.10: linux-image-2.6.32-417-dove 2.6.32-417.34 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.
