** Description changed:

- Linux kernel sa_restorer information leak
+ The flush_signal_handlers function in kernel/signal.c in the Linux
+ kernel before 3.8.4 preserves the value of the sa_restorer field across
+ an exec operation, which makes it easier for local users to bypass the
+ ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted application containing a
+ sigaction system call.
  
  Break-Fix: - 2ca39528c01a933f6689cd6505ce65bd6d68a530
