For a 32-bit SMP machine, use this command (substitute the appropriate kernel version if you are not running Slackware 14.2): # /usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh -k 4.4.153-smp | bash For a 64-bit machine, or a 32-bit uniprocessor machine, use this command (substitute the appropriate kernel version if you are not running Slackware 14.2): # /usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh -k 4.4.153 | bash Please note that "uniprocessor" has to do with the kernel you are running, not with the CPU. Most systems should run the SMP kernel (if they can) regardless of the number of cores the CPU has. If you aren't sure which kernel you are running, run "uname -a". If you see SMP there, you are running the SMP kernel and should use the 4.4.153-smp version when running mkinitrd_command_generator. Note that this is only for 32-bit -- 64-bit systems should always use 4.4.153 as the version. If you are using lilo or elilo to boot the machine, you'll need to ensure that the machine is properly prepared before rebooting. If using LILO: By default, lilo.conf contains an image= line that references a symlink that always points to the correct kernel. No editing should be required unless your machine uses a custom lilo.conf. If that is the case, be sure that the image= line references the correct kernel file. Either way, you'll need to run "lilo" as root to reinstall the boot loader. If using elilo: Ensure that the /boot/vmlinuz symlink is pointing to the kernel you wish to use, and then run eliloconfig to update the EFI System Partition. +-----+ Slackware Linux Security Team http://slackware.com/gpg-key security@slackware.com +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | To leave the slackware-security mailing list: | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Send an email to majordomo@slackware.com with this text in the body of | | the email message: | | | | unsubscribe slackware-security | | | | You will get a confirmation message back containing instructions to | | complete the process.

VAR-201808-0958 CVE-2018-3620 Intel processors are vulnerable to a speculative execution side-channel attack called L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF) CVSS V2: 4.7
CVSS V3: 5.6
Severity: MEDIUM
Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and address translations may allow unauthorized disclosure of information residing in the L1 data cache to an attacker with local user access via a terminal page fault and a side-channel analysis. These attacks are known as L1 Terminal Fault: SGX, L1 Terminal Fault: OS/SMM, and L1 Terminal Fault: VMM. Intel Core Systems with microprocessors contain information disclosure vulnerabilities.Information may be obtained. Intel Core i3 processor, etc. are all CPU (central processing unit) products of Intel Corporation of the United States. Security vulnerabilities exist in several Intel products that use speculative execution and address translation. The following products are affected: Intel Core i3 processor; Intel Core i5 processor; Intel Core i7 processor; Intel Core M processor family; 2nd generation Intel Core processors; 3rd generation Intel Core processors; 4th generation Intel Core processors; 5th generation Intel Core processors, etc. ========================================================================= Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3742-1 August 14, 2018 linux vulnerabilities ========================================================================= A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the Linux kernel. A local attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to expose sensitive information (memory from other guests or the host OS). (CVE-2018-3646) It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the CPU core. (CVE-2018-3620) Andrey Konovalov discovered an out-of-bounds read in the POSIX timers subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or expose sensitive information. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5390) Juha-Matti Tilli discovered that the IP implementation in the Linux kernel performed algorithmically expensive operations in some situations when handling incoming packet fragments. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5391) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: linux-image-3.13.0-155-generic 3.13.0-155.205 linux-image-3.13.0-155-generic-lpae 3.13.0-155.205 linux-image-3.13.0-155-lowlatency 3.13.0-155.205 linux-image-3.13.0-155-powerpc-e500 3.13.0-155.205 linux-image-3.13.0-155-powerpc-e500mc 3.13.0-155.205 linux-image-3.13.0-155-powerpc-smp 3.13.0-155.205 linux-image-3.13.0-155-powerpc64-emb 3.13.0-155.205 linux-image-3.13.0-155-powerpc64-smp 3.13.0-155.205 linux-image-generic 3.13.0.155.165 linux-image-generic-lpae 3.13.0.155.165 linux-image-lowlatency 3.13.0.155.165 linux-image-powerpc-e500 3.13.0.155.165 linux-image-powerpc-e500mc 3.13.0.155.165 linux-image-powerpc-smp 3.13.0.155.165 linux-image-powerpc64-emb 3.13.0.155.165 linux-image-powerpc64-smp 3.13.0.155.165 Please note that the recommended mitigation for CVE-2018-3646 involves updating processor microcode in addition to updating the kernel; however, the kernel includes a fallback for processors that have not received microcode updates. 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. 7) - noarch, x86_64 3. Description: The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. (BZ#1594915) 4. 7.3) - ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64 3. Bug Fix(es): * Due to a bug in a CPU's speculative execution engine, the CPU could previously leak data from other processes on the system, including passwords, encryption keys, or other sensitive information. With this update, the kernel build requirements have been updated to the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) compiler version that has the support for Expoline for IBM z Systems. As a result, data leak no longer occurs under the described circumstances.

Description: The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * Modern operating systems implement virtualization of physical memory to efficiently use available system resources and provide inter-domain protection through access control and isolation. The L1TF issue was found in the way the x86 microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions (a commonly used performance optimisation) in combination with handling of page-faults caused by terminated virtual to physical address resolving process. As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to read privileged memory of the kernel or other processes and/or cross guest/host boundaries to read host memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646) * An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions past bounds check. The flaw relies on the presence of a precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code and the fact that memory writes occur to an address which depends on the untrusted value. Such writes cause an update into the microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to influence speculative execution and/or read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3693) * A flaw named SegmentSmack was found in the way the Linux kernel handled specially crafted TCP packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger time and calculation expensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue() and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() functions by sending specially modified packets within ongoing TCP sessions which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence a denial of service on the system. Maintaining the denial of service condition requires continuous two-way TCP sessions to a reachable open port, thus the attacks cannot be performed using spoofed IP addresses. (CVE-2018-5390) * kernel: crypto: privilege escalation in skcipher_recvmsg function (CVE-2017-13215) * kernel: mm: use-after-free in do_get_mempolicy function allows local DoS or other unspecified impact (CVE-2018-10675) * kernel: race condition in snd_seq_write() may lead to UAF or OOB access (CVE-2018-7566) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

VAR-201808-0957 CVE-2018-3646 Intel processors are vulnerable to a speculative execution side-channel attack called L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF) CVSS V2: 4.7
CVSS V3: 5.6
Severity: MEDIUM
Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and address translations may allow unauthorized disclosure of information residing in the L1 data cache to an attacker with local user access with guest OS privilege via a terminal page fault and a side-channel analysis. These attacks are known as L1 Terminal Fault: SGX, L1 Terminal Fault: OS/SMM, and L1 Terminal Fault: VMM. Multiple Intel Processors are prone to a multiple information-disclosure vulnerabilities. Local attackers can exploit these issues to obtain sensitive information. This may aid in further attacks. Intel Core i3 processor, etc. are all CPU (central processing unit) products of Intel Corporation of the United States. Security vulnerabilities exist in several Intel products that use speculative execution and address translation. The following products are affected: Intel Core i3 processor; Intel Core i5 processor; Intel Core i7 processor; Intel Core M processor family; 2nd generation Intel Core processors; 3rd generation Intel Core processors; 4th generation Intel Core processors; 5th generation Intel Core processors, etc. 6.7) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 3.

Issue date: 2018-08-14 Updated on: 2018-08-14 (Initial Advisory) CVE number: CVE-2018-3646 1. Summary VMware vSphere, Workstation, and Fusion updates enable Hypervisor- Specific Mitigations for L1 Terminal Fault - VMM vulnerability. The mitigations in this advisory are categorized as Hypervisor- Specific Mitigations described by VMware Knowledge Base article 55636. Relevant Products VMware vCenter Server (VC) VMware vSphere ESXi (ESXi) VMware Workstation Pro / Player (WS) VMware Fusion Pro / Fusion (Fusion) 3. Problem Description vCenter Server, ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion updates include Hypervisor-Specific Mitigations for L1 Terminal Fault - VMM. This issue may allow a malicious VM running on a given CPU core to effectively read the hypervisoras or another VMas privileged information that resides sequentially or concurrently in the same coreas L1 Data cache. CVE-2018-3646 has two currently known attack vectors which will be referred to as "Sequential-Context" and "Concurrent-Context." Attack Vector Summary Sequential-context attack vector: a malicious VM can potentially infer recently accessed L1 data of a previous context (hypervisor thread or other VM thread) on either logical processor of a processor core. Concurrent-context attack vector: a malicious VM can potentially infer recently accessed L1 data of a concurrently executing context (hypervisor thread or other VM thread) on the other logical processor of the Hyper-Threading-enabled processor core. Mitigation Summary The Sequential-context attack vector is mitigated by a vSphere update to the product versions listed in table below. This mitigation is dependent on Intel microcode updates (provided in separate ESXi patches for most Intel hardware platforms) also listed in the table below. This mitigation is enabled by default and does not impose a significant performance impact. The Concurrent-context attack vector is mitigated through enablement of a new feature known as the ESXi Side-Channel-Aware Scheduler. This feature may impose a non-trivial performance impact and is not enabled by default. Column 5 of the following table lists the action required to remediate the vulnerability in each release, if a solution is available.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server AUS (v. 6.6) - noarch, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional AUS (v. 6.6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional TUS (v. 6.6) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server TUS (v. 6.6) - noarch, x86_64 3. Description: The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * Modern operating systems implement virtualization of physical memory to efficiently use available system resources and provide inter-domain protection through access control and isolation. The L1TF issue was found in the way the x86 microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of instructions (a commonly used performance optimisation) in combination with handling of page-faults caused by terminated virtual to physical address resolving process. As a result, an unprivileged attacker could use this flaw to read privileged memory of the kernel or other processes and/or cross guest/host boundaries to read host memory by conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646) * kernel: kvm: vmx: host GDT limit corruption (CVE-2018-10901) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Corrected: 2018-08-14 17:51:12 UTC (stable/11, 11.1-STABLE) 2018-08-15 02:30:11 UTC (releng/11.2, 11.2-RELEASE-p2) 2018-08-15 02:30:11 UTC (releng/11.1, 11.1-RELEASE-p13) CVE Name: CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646 Special Note: Speculative execution vulnerability mitigation remains a work in progress. This advisory addresses the issue in FreeBSD 11.1 and later. We expect to update this advisory to include 10.4 at a later time. For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories, including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the following sections, please visit <URL:https://security.FreeBSD.org/>. I. Background When a program accesses data in memory via a logical address it is translated to a physical address in RAM by the CPU. Accessing an unmapped logical address results in what is known as a terminal fault. II. The CPU may speculatively access the level 1 data cache (L1D). Data which would otherwise be protected may then be determined by using side channel methods. This issue affects bhyve on FreeBSD/amd64 systems. III. Impact An attacker executing user code, or kernel code inside of a virtual machine, may be able to read secret data from the kernel or from another virtual machine. IV. Workaround No workaround is available. V. Solution Upgrade your vulnerable system to a supported FreeBSD stable or release / security branch (releng) dated after the correction date, and reboot. Perform one of the following: 1) To update your vulnerable system via a binary patch: Systems running a RELEASE version of FreeBSD on the i386 or amd64 platforms can be updated via the freebsd-update(8) utility: # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install # shutdown -r +30 "Rebooting for security update" 2) To update your vulnerable system via a source code patch: The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable FreeBSD release branches. a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the detached PGP signature using your PGP utility. [FreeBSD 11.2] # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-18:09/l1tf-11.2.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-18:09/l1tf-11.2.patch.asc # gpg --verify l1tf-11.2.patch.asc [FreeBSD 11.1] # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-18:09/l1tf-11.1.patch # fetch https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-18:09/l1tf-11.1.patch.asc # gpg --verify l1tf-11.1.patch.asc b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch c) Recompile your kernel as described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html> and reboot the system. VI. Correction details CVE-2018-3620 (L1 Terminal Fault-OS) - ------------------------------------ FreeBSD reserves the the memory page at physical address 0, so it will not contain secret data. FreeBSD zeros the paging data structures for unmapped addresses, so that speculatively executed L1 Terminal Faults will access only the reserved, unused page. The following list contains the correction revision numbers for each affected branch.

This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. A local attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to expose sensitive information (memory from other guests or the host OS). (CVE-2018-3620) Juha-Matti Tilli discovered that the IP implementation in the Linux kernel performed algorithmically expensive operations in some situations when handling incoming packet fragments. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5391) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: linux-image-4.15.0-1017-gcp 4.15.0-1017.18~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-1021-azure 4.15.0-1021.21~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-32-generic 4.15.0-32.35~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-32-generic-lpae 4.15.0-32.35~16.04.1 linux-image-4.15.0-32-lowlatency 4.15.0-32.35~16.04.1 linux-image-azure 4.15.0.1021.27 linux-image-gcp 4.15.0.1017.29 linux-image-generic-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.32.54 linux-image-generic-lpae-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.32.54 linux-image-gke 4.15.0.1017.29 linux-image-lowlatency-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.32.54 linux-image-virtual-hwe-16.04 4.15.0.32.54 Please note that the recommended mitigation for CVE-2018-3646 involves updating processor microcode in addition to updating the kernel; however, the kernel includes a fallback for processors that have not received microcode updates. 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.

VAR-201809-1153 CVE-2018-5391 Linux kernel IP fragment re-assembly vulnerable to denial of service CVSS V2: 7.8
CVSS V3: 7.5
Severity: HIGH
The Linux kernel, versions 3.9+, is vulnerable to a denial of service attack with low rates of specially modified packets targeting IP fragment re-assembly. An attacker may cause a denial of service condition by sending specially crafted IP fragments. Various vulnerabilities in IP fragmentation have been discovered and fixed over the years. The current vulnerability (CVE-2018-5391) became exploitable in the Linux kernel with the increase of the IP fragment reassembly queue size. Linux Kernel is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to cause a denial-of-service condition. This is mitigated by reducing the default limits on memory usage for incomplete fragmented packets. The same mitigation can be achieved without the need to reboot, by setting the sysctls: net.ipv4.ipfrag_high_thresh = 262144 net.ipv6.ip6frag_high_thresh = 262144 net.ipv4.ipfrag_low_thresh = 196608 net.ipv6.ip6frag_low_thresh = 196608 The default values may still be increased by local configuration if necessary. For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 4.9.110-3+deb9u2.

Summary: An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Advanced Update Support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Telco Extended Update Support, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Update Services for SAP Solutions. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server AUS (v. 7.2) - noarch, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server E4S (v. 7.2) - noarch, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional AUS (v. 7.2) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional E4S (v. 7.2) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional TUS (v. 7.2) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server TUS (v. 7.2) - noarch, x86_64 3. Description: The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * A flaw named FragmentSmack was found in the way the Linux kernel handled reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets. (CVE-2018-5391) * kernel: out-of-bounds access in the show_timer function in kernel/time/posix-timers.c (CVE-2017-18344) * kernel: mm: use-after-free in do_get_mempolicy function allows local DoS or other unspecified impact (CVE-2018-10675) * kernel: Integer overflow in Linux's create_elf_tables function (CVE-2018-14634) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Red Hat would like to thank Juha-Matti Tilli (Aalto University - Department of Communications and Networking and Nokia Bell Labs) for reporting CVE-2018-5391 and Qualys Research Labs for reporting CVE-2018-14634. Bug Fix(es): * Previously, a kernel panic occurred when the kernel tried to make an out of bound access to the array that describes the L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF) mitigation state on systems without Extended Page Tables (EPT) support. This update extends the array of mitigation states to cover all the states, which effectively prevents out of bound array access. Also, this update enables rejecting invalid, irrelevant values, that might be erroneously provided by the userspace. As a result, the kernel no longer panics in the described scenario. (BZ#1629565) * Previously, a packet was missing the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) payload checksum during a full checksum computation, if the hardware checksum was not applied. As a consequence, a packet with an incorrect checksum was dropped by a peer. With this update, the kernel includes the UDP payload checksum during the full checksum computation. As a result, the checksum is computed correctly and the packet can be received by the peer. (BZ#1635792) * Previously, a transform lookup through the xfrm framework could be performed on an already transformed destination cache entry (dst_entry). When using User Datagram Protocol (UDP) over IPv6 with a connected socket in conjunction with Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) in Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) transport mode. As a consequence, invalid IPv6 fragments transmitted from the host or the kernel occasionally terminated unexpectedly due to a socket buffer (SKB) underrun. With this update, the xfrm lookup on an already transformed dst_entry is not possible. As a result, using UDP iperf utility over IPv6 ESP no longer causes invalid IPv6 fragment transmissions or a kernel panic. (BZ#1639586) 4. Solution: For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. 5.

Bug Fix(es): * Previously, invalid headers in the sk_buff struct led to an indefinite loop in the tcp_collapse() function. (BZ#1619630) * After updating the system to prevent the L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF) vulnerability, only one thread was detected on systems that offer processing of two threads on a single processor core. With this update, the "__max_smt_threads()" function has been fixed. (BZ#1629632) 4. Bug Fix(es): These updated kernel packages include also numerous bug fixes. Space precludes documenting all of the bug fixes in this advisory. See the descriptions in the related Knowledge Article: https://access.redhat.com/articles/3684891 4. 7.3) - ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64 3. Maintaining the denial of service condition requires continuous two-way TCP sessions to a reachable open port, thus the attacks cannot be performed using spoofed IP addresses. Consequently, the node was not available. This update fixes an irq latency source in memory compaction. (BZ#1596281) * Previously, the kernel source code was missing support to report the Speculative Store Bypass Disable (SSBD) vulnerability status on IBM Power Systems and the little-endian variants of IBM Power Systems. As a consequence, the /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_store_bypass file incorrectly reported "Not affected" on both CPU architectures. This fix updates the kernel source code to properly report the SSBD status either as "Vulnerable" or "Mitigation: Kernel entry/exit barrier (TYPE)" where TYPE is one of "eieio", "hwsync", "fallback", or "unknown". As a consequence, the VMs sometimes became unresponsive when booting. This update applies an upstream patch to avoid early microcode update when running under a hypervisor.

This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 14.04 for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM. It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the CPU core. This vulnerability is also known as L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF). A local attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to expose sensitive information (memory from other guests or the host OS). (CVE-2018-3646) It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the CPU core. This vulnerability is also known as L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF). A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (memory from the kernel or other processes). (CVE-2018-3620) Andrey Konovalov discovered an out-of-bounds read in the POSIX timers subsystem in the Linux kernel. (CVE-2018-5391) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 12.04 ESM: linux-image-3.13.0-155-generic 3.13.0-155.206~precise1 linux-image-3.13.0-155-generic-lpae 3.13.0-155.206~precise1 linux-image-generic-lpae-lts-trusty 3.13.0.155.145 linux-image-generic-lts-trusty 3.13.0.155.145 Please note that the recommended mitigation for CVE-2018-3646 involves updating processor microcode in addition to updating the kernel; however, the kernel includes a fallback for processors that have not received microcode updates. 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
