Title:Ubuntu: Security Advisory (USN-4007-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-aws, linux-gcp, linux-kvm, linux-oem, linux-oracle, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon' package(s) announced via the USN-4007-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'linux, linux-aws, linux-gcp, linux-kvm, linux-oem, linux-oracle, linux-raspi2, linux-snapdragon' package(s) announced via the USN-4007-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Federico Manuel Bento discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly
apply Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) in some situations for
setuid a.out binaries. A local attacker could use this to improve the
chances of exploiting an existing vulnerability in a setuid a.out binary.

As a hardening measure, this update disables a.out support.

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

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
