"Salva Peiro discovered an information leak in the Linux kernel's
media- device driver. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to
obtain sensitive information from kernel memory. (CVE-2014-1739)

A bounds check error was discovered in the socket filter subsystem of
the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a
denial of service (system crash) via crafted BPF instructions.
(CVE-2014-3144)

A remainder calculation error was discovered in the socket filter
subsystem of the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to
cause a denial of service (system crash) via crafted BPF instructions.
(CVE-2014-3145).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding
description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable
has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible
without introducing additional issues."
