Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0439-01 - The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A denial of service flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's IPv6 implementation processed IPv6 router advertisement packets. An attacker able to send a large number of RA packets to a target system could potentially use this flaw to crash the target system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's netfilter connection tracking implementation for Datagram Congestion Control Protocol packets used the skb_header_pointer() function. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially crafted DCCP packet to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.

8b389e889e2f17e940829e5621404fe0Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2014-001 - Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in the Linux kernel. The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.12.5 allows local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service via a VAPIC synchronization operation involving a page-end address. The apic_get_tmcct function in arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.12.5 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service via crafted modifications of the TMICT value. Multiple buffer underflows in the XFS implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.12.1 allow local users to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for a XFS_IOC_ATTRLIST_BY_HANDLE or XFS_IOC_ATTRLIST_BY_HANDLE_32 ioctl call with a crafted length value, related to the xfs_attrlist_by_handle function in fs/xfs/xfs_ioctl.c and the xfs_compat_attrlist_by_handle function in fs/xfs/xfs_ioctl32.c. Various other issues have also been addressed.
