** Description changed:

- [keys: incorrect termination condition in assoc array garbage
- collection]
+ The assoc_array_gc function in the associative-array implementation in
+ lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3 does not properly
+ implement garbage collection, which allows local users to cause a denial
+ of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have
+ unspecified other impact via multiple "keyctl newring" operations
+ followed by a "keyctl timeout" operation.
