Following this email there are two patches that fix CVE-2013-6763 for
Lucid:

 * The fix backport (2nd patch) was based on the 3.4 stable kernel
   backport sent to the stable mailing list by Li Zefan[1].

 * The first patch is just a pre-requisit that provides the
   vm_iomap_memory() helper function used by the CVE fix.

Just a note: two of the files changed by this backport (au1100fb.c and
au1200fb.c) aren't actually relevant to the Ubuntu kernels as they are
compiled for MIPS only.
