The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
This update fixes the following security issues :
An integer overflow flaw in ib_uverbs_poll_cq() could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2010-4649, Important)
A race condition in the way new InfiniBand connections were set up could allow a remote user to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2011-0695, Important)
A flaw in the Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) implementation could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service if the sysctl ‘net.sctp.addip_enable’ variable was turned on (it is off by default). (CVE-2011-1573, Important)
Flaws in the AGPGART driver implementation when handling certain IOCTL commands could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2011-1745, CVE-2011-2022, Important)
An integer overflow flaw in agp_allocate_memory() could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges. (CVE-2011-1746, Important)
A flaw allowed napi_reuse_skb() to be called on VLAN (virtual LAN) packets. An attacker on the local network could trigger this flaw by sending specially crafted packets to a target system, possibly causing a denial of service. (CVE-2011-1576, Moderate)
An integer signedness error in next_pidmap() could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2011-1593, Moderate)
A flaw in the way the Xen hypervisor implementation handled CPUID instruction emulation during virtual machine exits could allow an unprivileged guest user to crash a guest. This only affects systems that have an Intel x86 processor with the Intel VT-x extension enabled. (CVE-2011-1936, Moderate)
A flaw in inet_diag_bc_audit() could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service (infinite loop). (CVE-2011-2213, Moderate)
A missing initialization flaw in the XFS file system implementation could lead to an information leak.
(CVE-2011-0711, Low)
A flaw in ib_uverbs_poll_cq() could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause an information leak.
(CVE-2011-1044, Low)
A missing validation check was found in the signals implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to send signals via the sigqueueinfo system call, with the si_code set to SI_TKILL and with spoofed process and user IDs, to other processes. Note: This flaw does not allow existing permission checks to be bypassed; signals can only be sent if your privileges allow you to already do so. (CVE-2011-1182, Low)
A heap overflow flaw in the EFI GUID Partition Table (GPT) implementation could allow a local attacker to cause a denial of service by mounting a disk containing specially crafted partition tables. (CVE-2011-1776, Low)
Structure padding in two structures in the Bluetooth implementation was not initialized properly before being copied to user-space, possibly allowing local, unprivileged users to leak kernel stack memory to user-space. (CVE-2011-2492, Low)
This update fixes several bugs.
The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
