Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-lts-trusty' package(s) announced via the USN-2975-2 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux-lts-trusty' package(s) announced via the USN-2975-2 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
USN-2975-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 14.04
LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux

Philip Pettersson discovered that the Linux kernel's ASN.1 DER decoder did
not properly process certificate files with tags of indefinite length. A
local unprivileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service
(system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code with administrative
privileges.

Affected Software/OS:
'linux-lts-trusty' package(s) on Ubuntu 12.04.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
