** Description changed:

- [btrfs: non-atomic xattr replace operation]
+ The Btrfs implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.19 does not ensure
+ that the visible xattr state is consistent with a requested replacement,
+ which allows local users to bypass intended ACL settings and gain
+ privileges via standard filesystem operations (1) during an xattr-
+ replacement time window, related to a race condition, or (2) after an
+ xattr-replacement attempt that fails because the data does not fit.
  
  Break-Fix: - 5f5bc6b1e2d5a6f827bc860ef2dc5b6f365d1339
