USN-4041-2: Linux kernel (HWE) update
Severity
Medium
Vendor
Canonical Ubuntu
Versions Affected
- Canonical Ubuntu 14.04
Description
USN-4041-1 provided updates for the Linux kernel in Ubuntu. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.
USN-4017-2 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel. Unfortunately, the update introduced a regression that interfered with networking applications that setup very low SO_SNDBUF values. This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Jonathan Looney discovered that the Linux kernel could be coerced into segmenting responses into multiple TCP segments. A remote attacker could construct an ongoing sequence of requests to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2019-11479)
