Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2014-038 - Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux kernel. The compat_sys_recvmmsg function in net/compat.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.2, when CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled, allows local users to gain privileges via a recvmmsg system call with a crafted timeout pointer parameter. The restore_fpu_checking function in arch/x86/include/asm/fpu-internal.h in the Linux kernel before 3.12.8 on the AMD K7 and K8 platforms does not clear pending exceptions before proceeding to an EMMS instruction, which allows local users to cause a denial of service or possibly gain privileges via a crafted application. The yam_ioctl function in drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c in the Linux kernel before 3.12.8 does not initialize a certain structure member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an SIOCYAMGCFG ioctl call. The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2014:038

_______________________________________________________________________
Package : kernel
Date : February 17, 2014
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux
kernel:
The compat_sys_recvmmsg function in net/compat.c in the Linux kernel
before 3.13.2, when CONFIG_X86_X32 is enabled, allows local users
to gain privileges via a recvmmsg system call with a crafted timeout
pointer parameter (CVE-2014-0038).
The restore_fpu_checking function in
arch/x86/include/asm/fpu-internal.h in the Linux kernel before 3.12.8
on the AMD K7 and K8 platforms does not clear pending exceptions
before proceeding to an EMMS instruction, which allows local users
to cause a denial of service (task kill) or possibly gain privileges
via a crafted application (CVE-2014-1438).
The yam_ioctl function in drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c in the Linux
kernel before 3.12.8 does not initialize a certain structure member,
which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel
memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an SIOCYAMGCFG
ioctl call (CVE-2014-1446).
The updated packages provides a solution for these security issues.
