Red Hat Security Advisory 2013-0882-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A flaw was found in the way the vhost kernel module handled descriptors that spanned multiple regions. A privileged guest user in a KVM guest could use this flaw to crash the host or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the host.
43d73db1f21655d27f27accef38ee47638229ca88b3abd0e8748d5cc1d891f5dDebian Linux Security Advisory 2668-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service, information leak or privilege escalation.
f66b5875b109e5f665558463b3f9c59ae0cb8985c108bda014534f43c51d2b5fRed Hat Security Advisory 2013-0223-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. It was found that a deadlock could occur in the Out of Memory killer. A process could trigger this deadlock by consuming a large amount of memory, and then causing request_module() to be called. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.

Due to an unrelated regression inotify/fanotify stopped working after upgrading. This update fixes the problem. Brad Spengler discovered a flaw in the Linux kernel's uname system call. An unprivileged user could exploit this flaw to read kernel stack memory. 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. Dmitry Monakhov reported a race condition flaw the Linux ext4 filesystem that can expose stale data. An unprivileged user could exploit this flaw to cause an information leak. A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's handling of script execution when module loading is enabled. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a leak of kernel stack contents. Rodrigo Freire discovered a flaw in the Linux kernel's TCP illinois congestion control algorithm. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's handling of new hot-plugged memory. An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service by crashing the system. Florian Weimer discovered that hypervkvpd, which is distributed in the Linux kernel, was not correctly validating source addresses of netlink packets. An untrusted local user can cause a denial of service by causing hypervkvpd to exit. Various other issues were also addressed.
