** Description changed:

- [x86: local privesc due to bad_iret and paranoid entry incompatibility]
+ arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel before 3.17.5 does not
+ properly handle faults associated with the Stack Segment (SS) segment
+ register, which allows local users to gain privileges by triggering an
+ IRET instruction that leads to access to a GS Base address from the
+ wrong space.
  
  Break-Fix: - 6f442be2fb22be02cafa606f1769fa1e6f894441
  Break-Fix: - b645af2d5905c4e32399005b867987919cbfc3ae
