Ubuntu 5039-1: Linux kernel vulnerability
Summary
Update Instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 16.04 ESM: linux-image-4.4.0-1096-kvm 4.4.0-1096.105 linux-image-4.4.0-1131-aws 4.4.0-1131.145 linux-image-4.4.0-213-generic 4.4.0-213.245 linux-image-4.4.0-213-lowlatency 4.4.0-213.245 linux-image-aws 4.4.0.1131.136 linux-image-generic 4.4.0.213.220 linux-image-kvm 4.4.0.1096.94 linux-image-lowlatency 4.4.0.213.220 linux-image-virtual 4.4.0.213.220 Ubuntu 14.04 ESM: linux-image-3.13.0-187-generic 3.13.0-187.238 linux-image-3.13.0-187-generic-lpae 3.13.0-187.238 linux-image-3.13.0-187-lowlatency 3.13.0-187.238 linux-image-4.4.0-1095-aws 4.4.0-1095.100 linux-image-4.4.0-213-generic 4.4.0-213.245~14.04.1 linux-image-4.4.0-213-lowlatency 4.4.0-213.245~14.04.1 linux-image-aws 4.4.0.1095.93 linux-image-generic 3.13.0.187.196 linux-image-generic-lpae 3.13.0.187.196 linux-image-generic-lts-xenial 4.4.0.213.186 linux-image-lowlatency 3.13.0.187.196 linux-image-lowlatency-lts-xenial 4.4.0.213.186 linux-image-server 3.13.0.187.196 linux-image-virtual 3.13.0.187.196 linux-image-virtual-lts-xenial 4.4.0.213.186 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.
