"USN-3219-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Linux kernel for Ubuntu 14.04
LTS. This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux
Hardware Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 14.04 LTS for Ubuntu
12.04 LTS.

Alexander Popov discovered that the N_HDLC line discipline
implementation in the Linux kernel contained a double-free
vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of
service (system crash) or possibly gain administrative privileges.

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."
