    Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5757-1

    Ubuntu Security Notice 5757-1 - 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 the video4linux driver for Empia
    based TV cards in the Linux kernel did not properly perform reference
    counting in some situations, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. A
    local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly
    execute arbitrary code.
