Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-gcp, linux-kvm, linux-raspi2' package(s) announced via the USN-3836-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel mishandles mapping UID or GID
ranges inside nested user namespaces in some situations. A local attacker
could use this to bypass access controls on resources outside the
namespace. (CVE-2018-18955)

Philipp Wendler discovered that the overlayfs implementation in the Linux
kernel did not properly verify the directory contents permissions from
within a unprivileged user namespace. A local attacker could use this to
expose sensitive information (protected file names). (CVE-2018-6559)

Affected Software/OS:
'linux, linux-gcp, linux-kvm, linux-raspi2' package(s) on Ubuntu 18.04.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
