Original advisory details:

 Jon Howell reported a flaw in the Linux kernel's KVM (Kernel-based virtual
 machine) subsystem's handling of the XSAVE CPU feature. On hosts without the
 XSAVE CPU feature, using qemu userspace, an unprivileged local attacker could
 exploit this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2012-4461)

 A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's handling of script execution
 when module loading is enabled. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to
 cause a leak of kernel stack contents. (CVE-2012-4530)

 Florian Weimer discovered that hypervkvpd, which is distributed in the
 Linux kernel, was not correctly validating source addresses of netlink
 packets. An untrusted local user can cause a denial of service by causing
 hypervkvpd to exit. (CVE-2012-5532)");
