"The media_device_enum_entities function in
drivers/media/media-device.c in the Linux kernel before 3.14.6 does
not initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to
obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging
/dev/media0 read access for a MEDIA_IOC_ENUM_ENTITIES ioctl call.

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's futex subsystem handled
the requeuing of certain Priority Inheritance (PI) futexes. A local,
unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on
the system.

The n_tty_write function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c in the Linux kernel
through 3.14.3 does not properly manage tty driver access in the
'LECHO & !OPOST' case, which allows local users to cause a denial of
service (memory corruption and system crash) or gain privileges by
triggering a race condition involving read and write operations with
long strings.");
