- A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's VFS subsystem handled file
system locks. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to trigger a
deadlock in the kernel, causing a denial of service on the system.
(CVE-2014-8559, Moderate)
- A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's virtio-net
subsystem handled certain fraglists when the GRO (Generic Receive Offload)
functionality was enabled in a bridged network configuration. An attacker
on the local network could potentially use this flaw to crash the system,
or, although unlikely, elevate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2015-5156, Moderate)
