USN-1391-1: Linux kernel (Marvell DOVE) vulnerability

Releases

• Ubuntu 10.10

Packages

• linux-mvl-dove - Linux kernel for DOVE

Details

A flaw was discovered in the XFS filesystem. If a local user mounts a
specially crafted XFS image it could potential execute arbitrary code on
the system.

Update instructions

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

Ubuntu 10.10

• linux-image-2.6.32-423-dove - 2.6.32-423.42

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.
