Details:
Peter Pi discovered a buffer overflow in the virtio network backend
(vhost_net) implementation in the Linux kernel. An attacker in a guest may
be able to use this to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) or
possibly execute arbitrary code in the host OS. (CVE-2019-14835)
It was discovered that the Linux kernel on PowerPC architectures did not
properly handle Facility Unavailable exceptions in some situations. A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2019-15030)

After a standard system update you need to reboot your computer to make
all the necessary changes.
ATTENTION: Due to an unavoidable ABI change the kernel updates have
been given a new version number, which requires you to recompile and
reinstall all third party kernel modules you might have installed.
Unless you manually uninstalled the standard kernel metapackages
(e.g. linux-generic, linux-generic-lts-RELEASE, linux-virtual,
linux-powerpc), a standard system upgrade will automatically perform
this as well.

USN-4136-1: wpa_supplicant and hostapd vulnerability
=========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4136-1
September 18, 2019
wpa vulnerability
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 19.04
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Summary:
wpa_supplicant could be made to be disconnected and require reconnection to the
network if it received a specially crafted management frame.
Software Description:
- wpa: client support for WPA and WPA2
Details:
It was discovered that wpa_supplicant incorrectly handled certain management
frames. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 19.04:
hostapd 2:2.6-21ubuntu3.3
wpasupplicant 2:2.6-21ubuntu3.3
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
hostapd 2:2.6-15ubuntu2.5
