Mathias Krause discovered information leak in the Linux kernel's compat
ioctl interface. A local user could exploit the flaw to examine parts of
kernel stack memory (CVE-2012-6539)

Mathias Krause discovered an information leak in the Linux kernel's
getsockopt for IP_VS_SO_GET_TIMEOUT. A local user could exploit this flaw
to examine parts of kernel stack memory. (CVE-2012-6540)

Mathias Krause discovered an information leak in the Linux kernel's
getsockopt implementation for the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol
(DCCP). A local user could exploit this flaw to examine some of the
kernel's stack memory. (CVE-2012-6541)

Mathias Krause discovered an information leak in the Linux kernel's
getsockname implementation for Logical Link Layer (llc) sockets. A local
user could exploit this flaw to examine some of the kernel's stack memory.

Mathias Krause discovered information leaks in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth
Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP) implementation. A
local user could exploit these flaws to examine some of the kernel's stack

Mathias Krause discovered information leaks in the Linux kernel's Bluetooth
RFCOMM protocol implementation. A local user could exploit these flaws to
examine parts of kernel memory. (CVE-2012-6545)

Mathias Krause discovered information leaks in the Linux kernel's
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networking stack. A local user could
exploit these flaws to examine some parts of kernel memory. (CVE-2012-6546)

A flaw was discovered in how netlink sockets validate message origins. A
local attacker could exploit this flaw to send netlink message
notifications, with spoofed credentials, to subscribed tasks.
(CVE-2012-6689)

Mathias Krause discover an error in Linux kernel's Datagram Congestion
Control Protocol (DCCP) Congestion Control Identifier (CCID) use. A local
attack could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (crash) and
potentially escalate privileges if the user can mmap page 0.
