*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

kernel/trace/trace_syscalls.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2 does
not properly handle private syscall numbers during use of the perf
subsystem, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (out-
of-bounds read and OOPS) or bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a
crafted application.
