Ubuntu Patch Fixes Kernel Flaws


Ubuntu users running versions ranging from 6.06 to version 8.04 are urged to update their system with a patch for the operating system's Linux kernel, reports ZDNet.

Ubuntu administrators say there is a vulnerability in the Linux kernel terminal handling code that could allow attacks to crash the system, leading to a denial of service. According to TechSpot, the vulnerability affects other versions of Ubuntu, including Kubuntu, Edubuntu and Xubuntu.
