Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0981-01

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0981-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the ping_init_sock() function of the Linux kernel handled the group_info reference counter. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the futex_wait_requeue_pi() function of the Linux kernel's futex subsystem handled the requeuing of certain Priority Inheritance futexes. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system.
