Synopsis:          Important: kernel security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2014:2008-1
Issue Date:        2014-12-17

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled GS segment register
base switching when recovering from a #SS (stack segment) fault on an
erroneous return to user space. A local, unprivileged user could use this
flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-9322,
Important)

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
