Summary

Ralf Spenneberg of OpenSource Security reported that the iowarrior
device driver did not sufficiently validate USB descriptors. This
allowed a physically present user with a specially designed USB
device to cause a denial of service (crash).

set a special internal keyring as its session keyring. The
security impact in this version of the kernel is unknown.

Baozeng Ding and Andrey Konovalov reported a race condition in the
L2TP implementation which could corrupt its table of bound

idl3r reported that the keyring subsystem would allow a process
to search for 'dead' keys, causing a null pointer dereference.
A local user could use this to cause a denial of service (crash).
