tag_insight = "The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
This update fixes the following security issues:
* Flaws in the AGPGART driver implementation when handling certain IOCTL
commands could allow a local user to cause a denial of service or escalate
their privileges. (CVE-2011-1745, CVE-2011-2022, Important)
* An integer overflow flaw in agp_allocate_memory() could allow a local
user to cause a denial of service or escalate their privileges.
(CVE-2011-1746, Important)
* A race condition flaw was found in the Linux kernel's eCryptfs
implementation. A local attacker could use the mount.ecryptfs_private
utility to mount (and then access) a directory they would otherwise not
have access to. Note: To correct this issue, the RHSA-2011:1241
ecryptfs-utils update, which provides the user-space part of the fix, must
also be installed. (CVE-2011-1833, Moderate)
* A denial of service flaw was found in the way the taskstats subsystem
handled the registration of process exit handlers. A local, unprivileged
user could register an unlimited amount of these handlers, leading to
excessive CPU time and memory use. (CVE-2011-2484, Moderate)
* A flaw was found in the way mapping expansions were handled. A local,
unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a wrapping condition,
triggering a denial of service. (CVE-2011-2496, Moderate)
* A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Performance Events implementation.
It could falsely lead the NMI (Non-Maskable Interrupt) Watchdog to detect a
lockup and panic the system. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw
to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) using the perf tool.
(CVE-2011-2521, Moderate)
* A flaw in skb_gro_header_slow() in the Linux kernel could lead to GRO
(Generic Receive Offload) fields being left in an inconsistent state. An
attacker on the local network could use this flaw to trigger a denial of
service. GRO is enabled by default in all network drivers that support it.
(CVE-2011-2723, Moderate)
* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Performance Events
implementation handled PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK counter overflow. A local,
unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2011-2918, Moderate)
* A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to leak
information to user-space. ( ...
