Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1696-1
Posted Jan 18, 2013
Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice 1696-1 - Jon Howell reported a flaw in the Linux kernel's KVM (Kernel-based virtual machine) subsystem's handling of the XSAVE CPU feature. On hosts without the XSAVE CPU feature, using qemu userspace, an unprivileged local attacker could exploit this flaw to crash the system. A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's handling of script execution when module loading is enabled. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a leak of kernel stack contents. Various other issues were also addressed.
