Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that
may lead to a privilege escalation, denial of service or information
leaks.

  • CVE-2015-8956
    It was discovered that missing input sanitising in RFCOMM Bluetooth
    socket handling may result in denial of service or information leak.
  • CVE-2016-5195
    It was discovered that a race condition in the memory management
    code can be used for local privilege escalation. This does not
    affect kernels built with PREEMPT_RT enabled.
  • CVE-2016-7042
    Ondrej Kozina discovered that incorrect buffer allocation in the
    proc_keys_show() function may result in local denial of service.
  • CVE-2016-7425
    Marco Grassi discovered a buffer overflow in the arcmsr SCSI driver
    which may result in local denial of service, or potentially,
    arbitrary code execution.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version
3.2.82-1. This version also includes bug fixes from upstream version
3.2.82 and updates the PREEMPT_RT featureset to version 3.2.82-rt119.

For Debian 8 Jessie, these problems have been fixed in version
3.16.36-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your linux packages.
