## Packages

* [linux-raspi2](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves?package=linux-raspi2) - Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2

## Details

Jan Stancek discovered that the Linux kernel's memory manager did not
properly handle moving pages mapped by the asynchronous I/O (AIO) ring
buffer to the other nodes. A local attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash).

## Update instructions

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.

[Learn more about how to get the fixes.](https://ubuntu.com/security/cves/about#security)

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.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

| Ubuntu Release | Package Version |
| --- | --- |
| 15.10 wily | [linux-image-4.2.0-1034-raspi2](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-raspi2) –  [4.2.0-1034.44](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-raspi2/4.2.0-1034.44) | | |
