  "The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in the Linux
  kernel through 4.8.2, when the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) stack
  protector is enabled, uses an incorrect buffer size for certain
  timeout data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
  (stack memory corruption and panic) by reading the /proc/keys file."
