    value:
"  - An information leak flaw was found in the way the Xen
    hypervisor handled error conditions when reading guest
    memory during certain guest-originated operations, such
    as port or memory mapped I/O writes. A privileged user
    in a fully-virtualized guest could use this flaw to leak
    hypervisor stack memory to a guest. (CVE-2013-4355,
    Moderate)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - A previous fix to the kernel did not contain a memory
    barrier in the percpu_up_write() function. Consequently,
    under certain circumstances, a race condition could
    occur leading to memory corruption and a subsequent
    kernel panic. This update introduces a new memory
    barrier pair, light_mb() and heavy_mb(), for per-CPU
    basis read and write semaphores (percpu-rw- semaphores)
    ensuring that the race condition can no longer occur. In
    addition, the read path performance of
    'percpu-rw-semaphores' has been improved.

  - Due to a bug in the tg3 driver, systems that had the
    Wake-on-LAN (WOL) feature enabled on their NICs could
    not have been woken up from suspension or hibernation
    using WOL. A missing pci_wake_from_d3() function call
    has been added to the tg3 driver, which ensures that WOL
    functions properly by setting the PME_ENABLE bit.

  - Due to an incorrect test condition in the mpt2sas
    driver, the driver was unable to catch failures to map a
    SCSI scatter-gather list. The test condition has been
    corrected so that the mpt2sas driver now handles SCSI
    scatter-gather mapping failures as expected.

  - A previous patch to the kernel introduced the 'VLAN tag
    re-insertion' workaround to resolve a problem with
    incorrectly handled VLAN-tagged packets with no assigned
    VLAN group while the be2net driver was in promiscuous
    mode. However, this solution led to packet corruption
    and a subsequent kernel oops if such a processed packed
    was a GRO packet. Therefore, a patch has been applied to
    restrict VLAN tag re-insertion only to non-GRO packets.
    The be2net driver now processes VLAN-tagged packets with
    no assigned VLAN group correctly in this situation.

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect."
