Description:
 The assoc_array_gc function in the associative-array implementation in
 lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3 does not properly
 implement garbage collection, which allows local users to cause a denial of
 service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have
 unspecified other impact via multiple "keyctl newring" operations followed
 by a "keyctl timeout" operation.
Ubuntu-Description:
 A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's associative-array garbage
 collection implementation. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a
 denial of service (system crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact
 by using keyctl operations.
Notes:
 jdstrand> android kernels (flo, goldfish, grouper, maguro, mako and manta) are
  not supported on the Ubuntu Touch 14.04 preview kernels
 jdstrand> linux-lts-saucy no longer receives official support
 jdstrand> linux-lts-quantal no longer receives official support
