DESCRIPTION
* CVE-2014-3215: Privilege escalation in seunshare execution of binaries.
A bug in libcap-ng could allow local, unpriviliged users to potentially
escalate priviliges on a system, exploitable through seunshare and other
tools.
* CVE-2014-9584: Out-of-bounds memory access in ISO filesystem when printing ER records.
A missing input validation when printing ER records on the iso9660 driver
could lead to an out-of-bounds memory write, potentially leading to a
kernel panic. A local attacker could use a corrupted ISO file to cause a
denial-of-service.
