Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-2584-02 - The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Security Fix: It was found that the Linux kernel's IPv6 implementation mishandled socket options. A local attacker could abuse concurrent access to the socket options to escalate their privileges, or cause a denial of service via a crafted sendmsg system call.

a58b7b5d58e92d5a084026c53f5461e431441e86891787922c799b50ae4376edRed Hat Security Advisory 2016-0855-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix: It was found that reporting emulation failures to user space could lead to either a local or a L2->L1 denial of service. In the case of a local denial of service, an attacker must have access to the MMIO area or be able to access an I/O port. Please note that on certain systems, HPET is mapped to userspace as part of vdso and thus an unprivileged user may generate MMIO transactions this way.
04e242034fb3ec62c7605bb20048f0fac25d6bf4a31d5570797bd3c137afe067Ubuntu Security Notice 2910-2 - USN-2910-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the Ubuntu 15.04 Linux kernel backported to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. An incorrect locking fix caused a regression that broke graphics displays for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS guests running the Ubuntu 15.04 backport kernel within VMWare virtual machines. This update fixes the problem. Various other issues were also addressed.
