Bug description:
  arch/x86/kernel/tls.c in the Thread Local Storage (TLS) implementation
  in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 allows local users to bypass the
  espfix protection mechanism, and consequently makes it easier for
  local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism, via a crafted
  application that makes a set_thread_area system call and later reads a
  16-bit value.

  Break-Fix: - 41bdc78544b8a93a9c6814b8bbbfef966272abbe
