"The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.

This update fixes the following security issues :

  - It was found that the receive hook in the ipip_init()
    function in the ipip module, and in the ipgre_init()
    function in the ip_gre module, could be called before
    network namespaces setup is complete. If packets were
    received at the time the ipip or ip_gre module was still
    being loaded into the kernel, it could cause a denial of
    service. (CVE-2011-1767, CVE-2011-1768, Moderate)

  - It was found that an mmap() call with the MAP_PRIVATE
    flag on '/dev/zero' would create transparent hugepages
    and trigger a certain robustness check. A local,
    unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial
    of service. (CVE-2011-2479, Moderate)

This update also fixes various bugs. Documentation for these bug fixes
will be available shortly from the Technical Notes document linked to
in the References section.

Users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve these issues, and fix the bugs noted in
the Technical Notes. The system must be rebooted for this update to
take effect."
