USN-3325-1: Linux kernel (Raspberry Pi 2) vulnerability

Releases

• Ubuntu 17.04

Packages

• linux-raspi2 - Linux kernel for Raspberry Pi 2

Details

It was discovered that the stack guard page for processes in the Linux
kernel was not sufficiently large enough to prevent overlapping with the
heap. An attacker could leverage this with another vulnerability to execute
arbitrary code and gain administrative privileges

Update instructions

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

Ubuntu 17.04

• linux-image-4.10.0-1008-raspi2 - 4.10.0-1008.11
• linux-image-raspi2 - 4.10.0.1008.10

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.
