Updated kernel packages fixes security vulnerabilities

The kernel has been updated to the upstream 3.10.44 longterm kernel, and fixes the following security issues: The Netlink implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.14.1 does not provide a mechanism for authorizing socket operations based on the opener of a socket, which allows local users to...

DEBIAN-CVE-2014-3153

The futexrequeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5 does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted FUTEXREQUEUE command that facilitates unsafe waiter modification...

The futexrequeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5 does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted FUTEXREQUEUE command that facilitates unsafe waiter modification...

DEBIAN-CVE-2012-6647

The futexwaitrequeuepi function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel before 3.5.1 does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses, which allows local users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and system crash or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted...
