"The Linux kernel through 3.17.4 does not properly restrict dropping of
supplemental group memberships in certain namespace scenarios, which
allows local users to bypass intended file permissions by leveraging a
POSIX ACL containing an entry for the group category that is more
restrictive than the entry for the other category, aka a 'negative
groups' issue, related to kernel/groups.c, kernel/uid16.c, and
kernel/user_namespace.c. (CVE-2014-8989)

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's splice() system call
validated its parameters. On certain file systems, a local,
unprivileged user could use this flaw to write past the maximum file
size, and thus crash the system. (CVE-2014-7822)"
