A physically proximate attacker could exploit\nthese flaws to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a\nspecially crafted device. (CVE-2014-3184)\n\nSeveral bounds check flaws allowing for buffer overflows were discovered in\nthe Linux kernel's Whiteheat USB serial driver.

A physically proximate attacker could exploit this flaw\nto cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary\ncode via a specially craft device. (CVE-2014-3186)\n\nA flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's associative-array garbage\ncollection implementation. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a\ndenial of service (system crash) or possibly have other unspecified impact\nby using keyctl operations. (CVE-2014-3631)\n\nA flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's UDF filesystem (used on some\nCD-ROMs and DVDs) when processing indirect ICBs. An attacker who can cause\nCD, DVD or image file with a specially crafted inode to be mounted can\ncause a denial of service (infinite loop or stack consumption).\n(CVE-2014-6410)\n\nJames Eckersall discovered a buffer overflow in the Ceph filesystem in the\nLinux kernel.
