Hey Everyone, Sorry if this is the incorrect list for this inquiry. I noticed that the Linux kernel pty layer race condition bug was marked as fixed for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. However, when starting to work on an upgrade plan I noticed the updated package wasn't available on the main, update, or security repos.
Here is the CVE tracker showing the fix as being released in 2.6.32-363.77: - http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2014/CVE-2014-0196.html However, it looks like the Packages file for lucid-security hasn't been updated to provide the newer package 'linux-ec2': - http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages.bz2 Interestingly enough, the 'linux-ec2-doc' package has been updated for the new version. Attached at the bottom is 'apt-cache policy' output showing the relevant output[1]. Is this intentional? According to launchpad the fix was released on 2014-05-06 by jjohansen: - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1314762 I've looked at my configs and it doesn't look like any of my apt sources are incorrect so I don't believe this is an issue local to my systems. However, any help troubleshooting would be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to look in to this! Cheers! -Tim # apt-cache policy linux-ec2 linux-ec2: Installed: 2.6.32.363.44 Candidate: 2.6.32.363.44 Version table: *** 2.6.32.363.44 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.6.32.305.6 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages # apt-cache policy linux-ec2-doc linux-ec2-doc: Installed: (none) Candidate: 2.6.32-363.77 Version table: 2.6.32-363.77 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages 2.6.32-362.75 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages 2.6.32-361.74 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security/main Packages -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
