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

CVE-2016-9588
CVE-2017-2636

    Alexander Popov discovered a race condition flaw in the N_HLDC when
    accessing n_hdlc.tbuf that can lead to a double free. A local,
    unprivileged user can take advantage of this flaw for privilege
    escalation. On systems that do not already have the n_hdlc module
    loaded, this can be mitigated by disabling it:
    echo >> /etc/modprobe.d/disable-n_hdlc.conf install n_hdlc false

CVE-2017-5669
CVE-2017-5986
CVE-2017-6214
CVE-2017-6345
CVE-2017-6346
CVE-2017-6348
CVE-2017-6353

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 3.16.39-1+deb8u2.
