LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux
Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 16.04 LTS for Ubuntu
14.04 LTS.
It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the
POSIX message queue implementation in the Linux kernel. A local
attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-11176)
Huang Weller discovered that the ext4 filesystem implementation in the
Linux kernel mishandled a needs-flushing-before-commit list. A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
(CVE-2017-7495)
It was discovered that a buffer overflow existed in the Broadcom
FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute
arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7541)
It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not honor the UEFI secure
boot mode when performing a kexec operation. A local attacker could
use this to bypass secure boot restrictions. (CVE-2015-7837).
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues.
