==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- - Ubuntu 17.10
- - Ubuntu 17.04
- - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Summary:
The system could be made to expose sensitive information.
Software Description:
- - nvidia-graphics-drivers-384: NVIDIA binary X.Org driver
Details:
Jann Horn discovered that microprocessors utilizing speculative execution
and branch prediction may allow unauthorized memory reads via sidechannel
attacks. This flaw is known as Spectre. A local attacker could use this to
expose sensitive information, including kernel memory.
This update provides mitigations to address the issue, along with
compatibility fixes for the corresponding Linux kernel updates.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 17.10:
