An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: Network file system (NFS) server daemon; SCTP protocol Update instructions After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make all the necessary changes. Learn more about how to get the fixes. ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and reinstall 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 perform this as well. The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu Release Package Version 14.04 LTS trusty linux-image-3.13.0-211-generic – 3.13.0-211.262 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro via Legacy Support add-on. linux-image-3.13.0-211-lowlatency – 3.13.0-211.262 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro via Legacy Support add-on. linux-image-generic – 3.13.0.211.221 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro via Legacy Support add-on. linux-image-generic-lts-quantal – 3.13.0.211.221 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro via Legacy Support add-on. linux-image-generic-lts-raring – 3.13.0.211.221 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro via Legacy Support add-on. linux-image-generic-lts-saucy – 3.13.0.211.221 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro via Legacy Support add-on. linux-image-generic-lts-trusty – 3.13.0.211.221 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro via Legacy Support add-on. linux-image-lowlatency – 3.13.0.211.221 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro via Legacy Support add-on. linux-image-server – 3.13.0.211.221 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro via Legacy Support add-on. linux-image-virtual – 3.13.0.211.221 Ubuntu Pro Fix available with Ubuntu Pro via Legacy Support add-on.
