USN-3742-2 introduced mitigations in the Linux Hardware Enablement
(HWE) kernel for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM to address L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF)
vulnerabilities (CVE-2018-3620, CVE-2018-3646). Unfortunately, the
update introduced regressions that caused kernel panics when booting
in some environments as well as preventing Java applications from
starting. This update fixes the problems.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that memory present in the L1 data cache of an Intel CPU
core may be exposed to a malicious process that is executing on the CPU
core. This vulnerability is also known as L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF). A local
attacker in a guest virtual machine could use this to expose sensitive
information (memory from other guests or the host OS). (CVE-2018-3646)

core. This vulnerability is also known as L1 Terminal Fault (L1TF). A local
attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (memory from the
kernel or other processes). (CVE-2018-3620)
Andrey Konovalov discovered an out-of-bounds read in the POSIX
timers subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local attacker could use
this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or expose sensitive
information. (CVE-2017-18344)
Juha-Matti Tilli discovered that the TCP implementation in the Linux kernel
performed algorithmically expensive operations in some situations when
handling incoming packets. A remote attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service. (CVE-2018-5390)
Juha-Matti Tilli discovered that the IP implementation in the Linux kernel
performed algorithmically expensive operations in some situations when
handling incoming packet fragments. A remote attacker could use this to
cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5391)
