==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 14.04 ESM
Summary:
libseccomp could allow unintended access to system calls.
Software Description:
- libseccomp: library for working with the Linux seccomp filter
Details:
USN-4001-1 fixed a vulnerability in libseccomp. This update provides the
corresponding update for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM.
Original advisory details:
Jann Horn discovered that libseccomp did not correctly generate 64-bit
syscall argument comparisons with arithmetic operators (LT, GT, LE, GE).
An attacker could use this to bypass intended access restrictions for
argument-filtered system calls.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 ESM:

changes.
