CVE-2020-10690
- Description
+ It was discovered that the PTP hardware clock subsystem did not

+ from the system while a user process was using it could lead to a

- Description

CVE-2020-12826
- Description
+ Adam Zabrocki reported a weakness in the signal subsystem's
+ permission checks. A parent process can choose an arbitary signal
+ for a child process to send when it exits, but if the parent has
+ executed a new program then the default SIGCHLD signal is sent. A
+ local user permitted to run a program for several days could
+ bypass this check, execute a setuid program, and then send an
+ arbitrary signal to it. Depending on the setuid programs
+ installed, this could have some security impact.
CVE-2020-13143
- Description
+ Kyungtae Kim reported a potential heap out-of-bounds write in
+ the USB gadget subsystem. A local user permitted to write to
+ the gadget configuration filesystem could use this to cause a
+ denial of service (crash or memory corruption) or potentially
+ for privilege escalation.
For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
3.16.84-1.
