    Package : linux
    CVE ID : CVE-2015-8956 CVE-2016-5195 CVE-2016-7042 CVE-2016-7425
    Debian Bug : 831014

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
    may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information
    leaks.

    CVE-2015-8956

    It was discovered that missing input sanitising in RFCOMM Bluetooth
    socket handling may result in denial of service or information leak.

    CVE-2016-5195

    It was discovered that a race condition in the memory management
    code can be used for local privilege escalation.

    CVE-2016-7042

    Ondrej Kozina discovered that incorrect buffer allocation in the
    proc_keys_show() function may result in local denial of service.

    CVE-2016-7425

    Marco Grassi discovered a buffer overflow in the arcmsr SCSI driver
    which may result in local denial of service, or potentially,
    arbitrary code execution.

    Additionally this update fixes a regression introduced in DSA-3616-1
    causing iptables performance issues (cf. Debian Bug #831014).

    For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 3.16.36-1+deb8u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
