[USN-2764-1] Linux kernel (Utopic HWE) vulnerability

Severity High
Affected Packages 8
CVEs 1
Info Packages Vulnerabilities

The system could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator.

Dmitry Vyukov discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly initialize
IPC object state in certain situations. A local attacker could use this to
escalate their privileges, expose confidential information, or cause a
denial of service (system crash).
