    Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5917-1

    Ubuntu Security Notice 5917-1 - It was discovered that the Upper Level
    Protocol subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle sockets
    entering the LISTEN state in certain protocols, leading to a
    use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a
    denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Kyle Zeng discovered
    that the sysctl implementation in the Linux kernel contained a stack-based buffer overflow. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of
    service or execute arbitrary code.
