kernel is vulnerable to privilege escalation. A flaw in the DRM driver for Intel graphics cards that allowed a local user to access any part of the main memory. To access the DRM functionality a user must have access to the X server which is granted through the graphical login. This also only affected systems with an Intel 965 or later graphic chipset.
