  - An issue was discovered in the btrfs filesystem code in     the Linux kernel. An invalid NULL pointer dereference     in btrfs_root_node() when mounting a crafted btrfs     image is due to a lack of chunk block group mapping     validation in btrfs_read_block_groups() in the     fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c function and a lack of     empty-tree checks in check_leaf() in     fs/btrfs/tree-checker.c function. This could lead to a     system crash and a denial of service.(CVE-2018-14612i1/4%0

  - It was found that the Linux kernel's TCP/IP protocol     suite implementation for IPv6 allowed the Hop Limit     value to be set to a smaller value than the default     one. An attacker on a local network could use this flaw     to prevent systems on that network from sending or     receiving network packets.(CVE-2015-2922i1/4%0

  - A NULL-pointer dereference flaw was found in the     kernel, which is caused by a race between revoking a     user-type key and reading from it. The issue could be     triggered by an unprivileged user with a local account,     causing the kernel to crash (denial of     service).(CVE-2015-7550i1/4%0
