==========================================================================Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6601-1January 25, 2024linux vulnerability==========================================================================A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro)Summary:The system could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator.Software Description:- linux: Linux kernelDetails:It was discovered that the IGMP protocol implementation in the Linux kernelcontained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. Alocal attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash)or possibly execute arbitrary code.Update instructions:The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the followingpackage versions:Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Available with Ubuntu Pro):   linux-image-3.13.0-195-generic  3.13.0-195.246   linux-image-3.13.0-195-lowlatency  3.13.0-195.246   linux-image-generic             3.13.0.195.205   linux-image-generic-lts-trusty  3.13.0.195.205   linux-image-lowlatency          3.13.0.195.205   linux-image-server              3.13.0.195.205   linux-image-virtual             3.13.0.195.205After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to makeall the necessary changes.ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates havebeen given a new version number, which requires you to recompile andreinstall 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 performthis as well.References:   https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-6601-1   CVE-2023-6932
