A Kernel security update has been released for Ubuntu 14.04 ESM

==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-4187-1
November 13, 2019
linux vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 14.04 ESM
Summary:
The system could be made to expose sensitive information.
Software Description:
- linux: Linux kernel
Details:
Stephan van Schaik, Alyssa Milburn, Sebastian Österlund, Pietro Frigo,
Kaveh Razavi, Herbert Bos, Cristiano Giuffrida, Giorgi Maisuradze, Moritz
Lipp, Michael Schwarz, Daniel Gruss, and Jo Van Bulck discovered that Intel
processors using Transactional Synchronization Extensions (TSX) could
expose memory contents previously stored in microarchitectural buffers to a
malicious process that is executing on the same CPU core. A local attacker
could use this to expose sensitive information.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.04 ESM:
  linux-image-3.13.0-175-generic  3.13.0-175.226
  linux-image-3.13.0-175-generic-lpae  3.13.0-175.226
  linux-image-3.13.0-175-lowlatency  3.13.0-175.226
  linux-image-generic             3.13.0.175.186
  linux-image-generic-lpae        3.13.0.175.186
  linux-image-lowlatency          3.13.0.175.186
  linux-image-server              3.13.0.175.186
  linux-image-virtual             3.13.0.175.186
Please note that mitigating the TSX (CVE-2019-11135) issue requires
a corresponding Intel processor microcode update.
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.
