CVE-2021-47483, CVE-2024-56595)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
linux-image-3.13.0-205-generic 3.13.0-205.256
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-3.13.0-205-lowlatency 3.13.0-205.256
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-generic 3.13.0.205.215
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-generic-lts-trusty 3.13.0.205.215
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-lowlatency 3.13.0.205.215
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-server 3.13.0.205.215
Available with Ubuntu Pro
linux-image-virtual 3.13.0.205.215

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
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.
