The below should be followed at the users own risk. Perhaps someone can confirm if the following is sane.

For Ubuntu versions:

  Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
  Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
The following should get you patched up, you will need a reboot though:

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-3.13.0-110 linux-headers-3.13.0-110-generic linux-image-3.13.0-110-generic
After reboot:

  uname -a
  Linux hostname 3.13.0-110-generic #157-Ubuntu
Any Digital Ocean users may need to power down their droplet and switch the kernel to the following version:

  DigitalOcean GrubLoader v0.2 (20160714) Ubuntu
Without this the new kernel may not be used.

Digital Ocean hasn't required that you change the kernel through the UI for some time now. Are you sure that's necessary?
