[USN-661-1] Linux kernel regression

Thu Oct 30 17:40:31 UTC 2008

===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-661-1           October 30, 2008
linux regression
https://launchpad.net/bugs/264019
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 8.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 8.10:
  linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic    2.6.27-7.15
  linux-image-2.6.27-7-server     2.6.27-7.15
  linux-image-2.6.27-7-virtual    2.6.27-7.15
  procps                          1:3.2.7-9ubuntu2.1

After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to
effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Version 2.6.27 of the Linux kernel changed the order of options in
TCP headers. While this change was RFC-compliant, it was found that
some old routers and consumer DSL modems would not route traffic for
these systems when TCP timestamps were enabled. As a workaround, TCP
timestamps were disabled via sysctl.

This update restores the previous ordering of TCP options, and
reenables TCP timestamps. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Updated packages for Ubuntu 8.10:
