This update provides the corresponding updates for the Linux Hardware
Enablement (HWE) kernel from Ubuntu 15.10 for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Jan Stancek discovered that the Linux kernel's memory manager did not

buffer to the other nodes. A local attacker could use this to cause a
denial of service (system crash).
