Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1538-1
August 14, 2012
linux-lts-backport-natty vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-lts-backport-natty: Linux kernel backport from Natty
Details:
An error was discovered in the Linux kernel's network TUN/TAP device
implementation. A local user with access to the TUN/TAP interface (which is
not available to unprivileged users until granted by a root user) could
exploit this flaw to crash the system or potential gain administrative
privileges. (CVE-2012-2136)
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS)
protocol implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to
cause a denial of service. (CVE-2012-2372)
An error was discovered in the Linux kernel's memory subsystem (hugetlb).
An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of
service (crash the system). (CVE-2012-2390)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
linux-image-2.6.38-15-generic 2.6.38-15.65~lucid1
linux-image-2.6.38-15-generic-pae 2.6.38-15.65~lucid1
linux-image-2.6.38-15-server 2.6.38-15.65~lucid1
linux-image-2.6.38-15-virtual 2.6.38-15.65~lucid1
After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1539-1
August 14, 2012
linux-lts-backport-oneiric vulnerabilities
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Software Description:
- linux-lts-backport-oneiric: Linux kernel backport from Oneiric
Details:
An error was discovered in the Linux kernel's network TUN/TAP device
implementation. A local user with access to the TUN/TAP interface (which is
not available to unprivileged users until granted by a root user) could
exploit this flaw to crash the system or potential gain administrative
privileges. (CVE-2012-2136)
Ulrich Obergfell discovered an error in the Linux kernel's memory
management subsystem on 32 bit PAE systems with more than 4GB of memory
installed. A local unprivileged user could exploit this flaw to crash the
system. (CVE-2012-2373)
A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's epoll system call. An
unprivileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system.
(CVE-2012-3375)
Some errors where discovered in the Linux kernel's UDF file system, which
is used to mount some CD-ROMs and DVDs. An unprivileged local user could
use these flaws to crash the system. (CVE-2012-3400)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
linux-image-3.0.0-24-generic 3.0.0-24.40~lucid1
linux-image-3.0.0-24-generic-pae 3.0.0-24.40~lucid1
linux-image-3.0.0-24-server 3.0.0-24.40~lucid1
linux-image-3.0.0-24-virtual 3.0.0-24.40~lucid1
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.

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1540-1
August 16, 2012
nss vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 11.10
- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
Summary:
NSS could be made to crash if it opened a specially crafted certificate.
Software Description:
- nss: Network Security Service library
Details:
Kaspar Brand discovered a vulnerability in how the Network Security
Services (NSS) ASN.1 decoder handles zero length items. If the user were
tricked into opening a specially crafted certificate, an attacker could
possibly exploit this to cause a denial of service via application crash.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 11.10:
libnss3-1d 3.12.9+ckbi-1.82-0ubuntu6.1
Ubuntu 11.04:
libnss3-1d 3.12.9+ckbi-1.82-0ubuntu2.2
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libnss3-1d 3.12.9+ckbi-1.82-0ubuntu0.10.04.4
After a standard system update you need to restart any applications that
use NSS, such as Evolution, to make all the necessary changes.
