linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-lts-xenial vulnerabilities

Lyu Tao discovered that the NFS implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle requests to open a directory on a regular file. A local attacker could use this to expose sensitive information (kernel memory). Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
