[USN-3035-3] Linux kernel (Wily HWE) vulnerability

Severity Medium
Affected Packages 8
CVEs 1
Info Packages Vulnerabilities

The system could be made to crash under certain conditions.

USN-3035-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 15.10.
This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware
Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 15.10 for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

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).
