    Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5773-1

    Ubuntu Security Notice 5773-1 - It was discovered that the NFSD
    implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle some RPC
    messages, leading to a buffer overflow. A remote attacker could use this
    to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. 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.
