CVE ID:	CVE-2015-8709
Description:	** DISPUTED ** kernel/ptrace.c in the Linux kernel through 4.4.1 mishandles uid and gid mappings, which allows local users to gain privileges by establishing a user namespace, waiting for a root process to enter that namespace with an unsafe uid or gid, and then using the ptrace system call. NOTE: the vendor states "there is no kernel bug here."
Test IDs:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.842582   1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.703434
