Bug description:
  ** DISPUTED ** kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel through 4.4.1
  mishandles uid and gid mappings, which allows local users to gain
  privileges by establishing a user namespace, waiting for a root
  process to enter that namespace with an unsafe uid or gid, and then
  using the ptrace system call.  NOTE: the vendor states "there is no
  kernel bug here."
