[USN-2751-1] Linux kernel (Vivid HWE) vulnerabilities

Severity Medium
Affected Packages 8
CVEs 2
Info Packages Vulnerabilities

Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.

Benjamin Randazzo discovered an information leak in the md (multiple
device) driver when the bitmap_info.file is disabled. A local privileged
attacker could use this to obtain sensitive information from the kernel.
(CVE-2015-5697)

Marc-André Lureau discovered that the vhost driver did not properly
release the userspace provided log file descriptor. A privileged attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (resource exhaustion).
(CVE-2015-6252)
