Ubuntu 3218-1: Linux kernel vulnerability
Summary
Update Instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS: linux-image-3.2.0-124-generic 3.2.0-124.167 linux-image-3.2.0-124-generic-pae 3.2.0-124.167 linux-image-3.2.0-124-highbank 3.2.0-124.167 linux-image-3.2.0-124-omap 3.2.0-124.167 linux-image-3.2.0-124-powerpc-smp 3.2.0-124.167 linux-image-3.2.0-124-powerpc64-smp 3.2.0-124.167 linux-image-3.2.0-124-virtual 3.2.0-124.167 linux-image-3.2.0-1502-omap4 3.2.0-1502.129 linux-image-generic 3.2.0.124.139 linux-image-generic-pae 3.2.0.124.139 linux-image-highbank 3.2.0.124.139 linux-image-omap 3.2.0.124.139 linux-image-omap4 3.2.0.1502.97 linux-image-powerpc-smp 3.2.0.124.139 linux-image-powerpc64-smp 3.2.0.124.139 linux-image-virtual 3.2.0.124.139 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.
