deadlock in the kernel, causing a denial of service on the system.
(CVE-2014-8559, Moderate)
* A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's virtio-net
subsystem handled certain fraglists when the GRO (Generic Receive Offload)
functionality was enabled in a bridged network configuration. An attacker
on the local network could potentially use this flaw to crash the system,
or, although unlikely, elevate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2015-5156, Moderate)
The CVE-2015-5156 issue was discovered by Jason Wang of Red Hat.
This update also fixes several bugs and adds one enhancement. Refer to the
linked Knowledgebase article for further information.
All kernel users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues and add this
enhancement. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.");
