    users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference and system crash) via vectors involving a NULL value for a
    certain match field, related to the keyring_search_iterator function in
    keyring.c (bsc#1030593).
    - CVE-2017-2671: The ping_unhash function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux
    kernel was too late in obtaining a certain lock and consequently could
    not ensure that disconnect function calls are safe, which allowed local
    users to cause a denial of service (panic) by leveraging access to the
    protocol value of IPPROTO_ICMP in a socket system call (bnc#1031003)
    - CVE-2017-5669: The do_shmat function in ipc/shm.c in the Linux kernel
    did not restrict the address calculated by a certain rounding operation,
    which allowed local users to map page zero, and consequently bypass a
    protection mechanism that exists for the mmap system call, by making
    crafted shmget and shmat system calls in a privileged context
    (bnc#1026914)
