  tag_insight = "Vasily Kulikov discovered a flaw in the Linux Kernel's perf tool that
allows for privilege escalation. A local could exploit this flaw to run
commands as root when using the perf tool. (CVE-2013-1060)

A flaw was discovered in the Xen subsystem of the Linux kernel when it
provides a guest OS read-only access to disks that support TRIM or SCSI
UNMAP. A privileged user in the guest OS could exploit this flaw to
destroy data on the disk. (CVE-2013-2140)

A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel when an IPv6 socket is used to
connect to an IPv4 destination. A unprivileged local user could exploit
this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2013-2232)

An information leak was discovered in the IPSec key_socket implementation
in the Linux kernel. An local user could exploit this flaw to examine
potentially sensitive information in kernel memory. (CVE-2013-2234)

Hannes Frederic Sowa discovered a flaw in the setsockopt UDP_CORK option
in the Linux kernel's IPv6 stack. A local user could exploit this flaw to
cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2013-4162)

Hannes Frederic Sowa discovered a flaw in the IPv6 subsystem of the Linux
kernel when the IPV6_MTU setsockopt option has been specified in
combination with the UDP_CORK option. A local user could exploit this flaw
to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2013-4163)";
