USN-1696-1: Linux kernel vulnerabilities

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