Synopsis: Important: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:0911-1
Issue Date: 2013-06-10
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-1935
CVE-2013-1943
CVE-2013-2017
—
This update fixes the following security issues:
* A flaw was found in the way KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)
initialized a guest’s registered pv_eoi (paravirtualized end-of-interrupt)
indication flag when entering the guest. An unprivileged guest user could
potentially use this flaw to crash the host. (CVE-2013-1935, Important)
* A missing sanity check was found in the kvm_set_memory_region() function
in KVM, allowing a user-space process to register memory regions pointing
to the kernel address space. A local, unprivileged user could use this
flaw to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2013-1943, Important)
* A double free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Virtual Ethernet
Tunnel driver (veth). A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to
crash a target system. (CVE-2013-2017, Moderate)
The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
