"Description of changes:

* CVE-2012-2123: Privilege escalation when assigning permissions using 
fcaps.

If a process increases permissions using fcaps, all of the dangerous
personality flags which are cleared for suid apps are not cleared. This has
allowed programs that gained elevated permissions using fcaps to disable
the address space randomization of other processes.


* CVE-2012-2121: Memory leak in KVM device assignment.

KVM uses memory slots to track and map guest regions of memory.  When 
device
assignment is used, the pages backing these slots are pinned in memory 
and mapped
into the iommu.  The problem is that when a memory slot is destroyed the 
pages
for the associated memory slot are neither unpinned nor unmapped from 
the iommu.


* Memory corruption in KVM device assignment slot handling.

A race condition in the KVM device assignment slot handling caused by
missing locks around the unmapping of memory slots could cause a memory
corruption.


* CVE-2012-2136: Privilege escalation in TUN/TAP virtual device.

The length of packet fragments to be sent wasn't validated before use,
leading to heap overflow. A user having access to TUN/TAP virtual
device could use this flaw to crash the system or to potentially
escalate their privileges.


* CVE-2012-2137: Buffer overflow in KVM MSI routing entry handler.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the setup_routing_entry() function 
in the
KVM subsystem of the Linux kernel in the way the Message Signaled 
Interrupts
(MSI) routing entry was handled. A local, unprivileged user could use 
this flaw
to cause a denial of service or, possibly, escalate their privileges.


* CVE-2012-1179 and CVE-2012-2373: Hugepage denial of service.

CVE-2012-1179: Denial of service in page mapping of the hugepage subsystem.

In some cases, the hugepage subsystem would allocate new PMDs when not
expected by the memory management subsystem. A privileged user in the
KVM guest can use this flaw to crash the host, an unprivileged local
user could use this flaw to crash the system.

CVE-2012-2373: Denial of service in PAE page tables.

On a PAE system, a non-atomic load could be corrupted by a page fault
resulting in a kernel crash, triggerable by an unprivileged user.


* Regression in handling of bind() with AF_UNSPEC family sockets.

Legacy applications used to bind() with AF_UNSPEC instead of AF_INET. Allow
them to continue doing so, but verify that the address is indeed 
INADDR_ANY.
