Updated kernel-linus provides upstream 3.12.20 kernel and fixes the following security issues: The ioapicdeliver function in virt/kvm/ioapic.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.1 does not properly validate the kvmirqdeliverytoapic return value, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of...

Five Year Old Security Vulnerability Patched in Linux Kernel

A serious and reportedly five-year-old bug in the Linux kernel could give attackers the ability to run malicious code or, at the very least, cause crashes on a variety of affected systems. Some, though not necessarily all, Linux distributions would be vulnerable without installing the patch. What...
