    Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5728-3

    Ubuntu Security Notice 5728-3 - Jann Horn discovered that the Linux kernel
    did not properly track memory allocations for anonymous VMA mappings in
    some situations, leading to potential data structure reuse. A local
    attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the
    memory address space accounting implementation in the Linux kernel,
    leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this
    to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
