The system could be made to crash under certain conditions.
Software Description:
- linux: Linux kernel
- linux-raspi2: Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2
Details:
A reference count bug was discovered in the Linux kernel ipx protocol
stack. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of
service or possibly other unspecified problems.
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 17.04: linux-image-4.10.0-1016-raspi2 4.10.0-1016.19 linux-image-4.10.0-33-generic 4.10.0-33.37 linux-image-4.10.0-33-generic-lpae 4.10.0-33.37 linux-image-4.10.0-33-lowlatency 4.10.0-33.37 linux-image-generic 4.10.0.33.33 linux-image-generic-lpae 4.10.0.33.33 linux-image-lowlatency 4.10.0.33.33 linux-image-raspi2 4.10.0.1016.17 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.
