Ubuntu Security Notice 6341-1 - Jordy Zomer and Alexandra Sandulescu discovered that syscalls invoking the do_prlimit function in the Linux kernel did not properly handle speculative execution barriers. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information. It was discovered that a use-after-free vulnerability existed in the IEEE 1394 implementation in the Linux kernel. A privileged attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
