DESCRIPTION
* CVE-2015-5257: Denial-of-service in Whiteheat device probing.
Missing validation of USB endpoints could result in a NULL pointer
dereference when probing a Whiteheat USB device. An attacker with a
malicious USB device and physical access to the system could use this
flaw to crash the system.
* CVE-2015-7613: Privilege escalation in IPC object initialization.
Incorrect initialization of IPC objects could result in memory
corruption when creating message queues or shared memory. A local,
unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate privileges.
* CVE-2015-2925: Privilege escalation in bind mounts inside namespaces.
Incorrect handling of renames inside container bind mounts could allow a
local user to escape a container and escalate privileges under specific
conditions.
