Details

USN-4017-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, the update introduced a regression that interfered with
networking applications that setup very low SO_SNDBUF values. This
update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Jonathan Looney discovered that the Linux kernel could be coerced into
segmenting responses into multiple TCP segments. A remote attacker could
construct an ongoing sequence of requests to cause a denial of service.
