Andy Lutomirski discovered an information leak in the Linux kernel’s Thread Local Storage (TLS) implementation allowing users to bypass the espfix to obtain information that could be used to bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) protection mechanism. A local user could exploit this flaw to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory. (CVE-2014-8133)

A flaw was discovered with file renaming in the linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (deadlock and system hang). (CVE-2014-8559)

Prasad J Pandit reported a flaw in the rock_continue function of the Linux kernel’s ISO 9660 CDROM file system. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash or hang).
(CVE-2014-9420).

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.
