** Description changed:

- linux-kernel privilege escalation on ARM/perf
+ The validate_event function in arch/arm/kernel/perf_event.c in the Linux
+ kernel before 3.10.8 on the ARM platform allows local users to gain
+ privileges or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and
+ system crash) by adding a hardware event to an event group led by a
+ software event.
  
  Break-Fix: 84fee97a026ca085f08381054513f9e24689a303 d9f966357b14e356dbd83b8f4a197a287ab4ff83
