Public bug reported: SRU Justification
Impact: The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or a minimally backported form of that patch. The 4.4.99 upstream stable patch set is now available. It should be included in the Ubuntu kernel as well. git://git.kernel.org/ TEST CASE: TBD The following patches from the 4.4.99 stable release shall be applied: * mac80211: accept key reinstall without changing anything * mac80211: use constant time comparison with keys * mac80211: don't compare TKIP TX MIC key in reinstall prevention * usb: usbtest: fix NULL pointer dereference * Input: ims-psu - check if CDC union descriptor is sane * ALSA: seq: Cancel pending autoload work at unbinding device * tun/tap: sanitize TUNSETSNDBUF input * tcp: fix tcp_mtu_probe() vs highest_sack * l2tp: check ps->sock before running pppol2tp_session_ioctl() * tun: call dev_get_valid_name() before register_netdevice() * sctp: add the missing sock_owned_by_user check in sctp_icmp_redirect * packet: avoid panic in packet_getsockopt() * ipv6: flowlabel: do not leave opt->tot_len with garbage * net/unix: don't show information about sockets from other namespaces * ip6_gre: only increase err_count for some certain type icmpv6 in ip6gre_err * tun: allow positive return values on dev_get_valid_name() call * sctp: reset owner sk for data chunks on out queues when migrating a sock * ppp: fix race in ppp device destruction * ipip: only increase err_count for some certain type icmp in ipip_err * tcp/dccp: fix ireq->opt races * tcp/dccp: fix lockdep splat in inet_csk_route_req() * tcp/dccp: fix other lockdep splats accessing ireq_opt * security/keys: add CONFIG_KEYS_COMPAT to Kconfig * tipc: fix link attribute propagation bug * brcmfmac: remove setting IBSS mode when stopping AP * target/iscsi: Fix iSCSI task reassignment handling * target: Fix node_acl demo-mode + uncached dynamic shutdown regression * misc: panel: properly restore atomic counter on error path * Linux 4.4.99 ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: kernel-stable-tracking-bug ** Tags added: kernel-stable-tracking-bug -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1744636 Title: Xenial update to 4.4.99 stable release Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: SRU Justification Impact: The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the Ubuntu SRU process, e.g., each patch has to demonstrably fix a bug, and each patch is vetted by upstream by originating either directly from a mainline/stable Linux tree or a minimally backported form of that patch.
