backported to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. An incorrect locking fix caused a
regression that broke graphics displays for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS guests
running the Ubuntu 15.10 backport kernel within VMWare virtual
machines. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

 halfdog discovered that OverlayFS, when mounting on top of a FUSE mount,
 incorrectly propagated file attributes, including setuid. A local
 unprivileged attacker could use this to gain privileges. (CVE-2016-1576)

 halfdog discovered that OverlayFS in the Linux kernel incorrectly
 propagated security sensitive extended attributes, such as POSIX ACLs. A
 local unprivileged attacker could use this to gain privileges.
 (CVE-2016-1575)

 It was discovered that the Linux kernel did not properly enforce rlimits
 for file descriptors sent over UNIX domain sockets. A local attacker could
 use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2013-4312)

 It was discovered that the Linux kernel's Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE)
 implementation did not handle initial zero length segments properly. A
 local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (unkillable
 task). (CVE-2015-8785)

 Andy Lutomirski discovered a race condition in the Linux kernel's
 translation lookaside buffer (TLB) handling of flush events. A local
 attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly leak
 sensitive information. (CVE-2016-2069)");
