  CVE-2014-4699: The Linux kernel on Intel processors did not properly
  restrict use of a non-canonical value for the saved RIP address in the
  case of a system call that does not use IRET, which allowed local users to
  leverage a race condition and gain privileges, or cause a denial of
  service (double fault), via a crafted application that makes ptrace and
  fork system calls.

  CVE-2014-4667: The sctp_association_free function in net/sctp/associola.c
  in the Linux kernel did not properly manage a certain backlog value, which
  allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (socket
  outage) via a crafted SCTP packet.

  CVE-2014-4171: mm/shmem.c in the Linux kernel did not properly implement
  the interaction between range notification and hole punching, which
  allowed local users to cause a denial of service (i_mutex hold) by using
  the mmap system call to access a hole, as demonstrated by interfering with
  intended shmem activity by blocking completion of (1) an MADV_REMOVE
  madvise call or (2) an FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE fallocate call.

  CVE-2014-4508: arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S in the Linux kernel on 32-bit
  x86 platforms, when syscall auditing is enabled and the sep CPU feature
  flag is set, allowed local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS and
  system crash) via an invalid syscall number, as demonstrated by number
  1000.

  CVE-2014-4656: Multiple integer overflows in sound/core/control.c in the
  ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
  cause a denial of service by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access, related
  to (1) index values in the snd_ctl_add function and (2) numid values in
  the snd_ctl_remove_numid_conflict function.

  CVE-2014-4655: The snd_ctl_elem_add function in sound/core/control.c in
  the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly
  maintain the user_ctl_count value, which allowed local users to cause a
  denial of service (integer overflow and limit bypass) by leveraging
  /dev/snd/controlCX access for a large number of
  SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE ioctl calls.

  CVE-2014-4654: The snd_ctl_elem_add function in sound/core/control.c in
  the ALSA control implementation in the Linux kernel did not check
  authorization for SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_ELEM_REPLACE commands, which allowed
  local users to remove kernel controls and cause a denial of service
  (use-after-free and system crash) by leveraging /dev/snd/controlCX access
  for an ioctl call.
