** Description changed: - An NMI that interrupts userspace and encounters an IRET fault is - incorrectly handled. + arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S in the Linux kernel before 4.1.6 on the x86_64 + platform mishandles IRET faults in processing NMIs that occurred during + userspace execution, which might allow local users to gain privileges by + triggering an NMI. Break-Fix: - 9b6e6a8334d56354853f9c255d1395c2ba570e0a
