[USN-2794-1] Linux kernel vulnerabilities

Severity Medium
Affected Packages 9
CVEs 2
Info Packages Vulnerabilities

Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.

It was discovered that in certain situations, a directory could be renamed
outside of a bind mounted location. An attacker could use this to escape
bind mount containment and gain access to sensitive information.
(CVE-2015-2925)

Moein Ghasemzadeh discovered that the USB WhiteHEAT serial driver contained
hardcoded attributes about the USB devices. An attacker could construct a
fake WhiteHEAT USB device that, when inserted, causes a denial of service
(system crash). (CVE-2015-5257)
