> For an upcoming Linux DSA in Debian we would use something like:
>> Ben Hawkes of Google Project Zero reported that the AIO interface
>> permitted reading or writing 2 GiB of data or more in a single
>> chunk, which could lead to an integer overflow when applied to

Use CVE-2015-8830.

Use CVE-2012-6701.
