Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0771-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's futex subsystem handled the requeuing of certain Priority Inheritance futexes. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's floppy driver handled user space provided data in certain error code paths while processing FDRAWCMD IOCTL commands. A local user with write access to /dev/fdX could use this flaw to free (using the kfree() function) arbitrary kernel memory. Various other issues were also addressed.

73e79f50856da66b94dc300dcf75b8e4967914b79209768459dcab2e0db44614Red 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.

336839d986f877d0c9633d42e6961fa76ae807751676c40199ee1f7de18091c3Ubuntu Security Notice 2139-1 - Mathy Vanhoef discovered an error in the the way the ath9k driver was handling the BSSID masking. A remote attacker could exploit this error to discover the original MAC address after a spoofing attack. Andrew Honig reported a flaw in the Linux Kernel's kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu function of the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) subsystem. A local user could exploit this flaw to gain privileges on the host machine. Andrew Honig reported a flaw in the apic_get_tmcct function of the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) subsystem if the Linux kernel. A guest OS user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service or host OS system crash. Various other issues were also addressed.

91680cbbf5fdef2f8e07e5eabb29b6df8d014cbc0dc9ff61a243b2814aed15baUbuntu Security Notice 2137-1 - An information leak was discovered in the Linux kernel when built with the NetFilter Connection Tracking (NF_CONNTRACK) support for IRC protocol (NF_NAT_IRC). A remote attacker could exploit this flaw to obtain potentially sensitive kernel information when communicating over a client- to-client IRC connection(/dcc) via a NAT-ed network. Matthew Thode reported a denial of service vulnerability in the Linux kernel when SELinux support is enabled. A local user with the CAP_MAC_ADMIN capability (and the SELinux mac_admin permission if running in enforcing mode) could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (kernel crash). Various other issues were also addressed.
