It was found that the mdev BusyBox utility could create certain directories within /dev with world-writable permissions. A local unprivileged user could use this flaw to manipulate portions of the /dev directory tree. (CVE-2013-1813)
This update also fixes the following bugs :
wc: : No such file or directory
This bug was fixed by disabling the string size optimization and the ‘wc’ command works properly on IBM System z architectures.
Prior to this update, the ‘mknod’ command was unable to create device nodes with a major or minor number larger than 255. Consequently, the kdump utility failed to handle such a device. The underlying source code has been modified, and it is now possible to use the ‘mknod’ command to create device nodes with a major or minor number larger than 255.
If a network installation from an NFS server was selected, the ‘mount’ command used the UDP protocol by default. If only TCP mounts were supported by the server, this led to a failure of the mount command. As a result, Anaconda could not continue with the installation. This bug is now fixed and NFS mount operations default to the TCP protocol.

This update also fixes the following bugs :
- Previously, due to a too eager string size optimization
on the IBM System z architecture, the 'wc' BusyBox
command failed after processing standard input with the
following error :
wc: : No such file or directory
This bug was fixed by disabling the string size optimization and the
'wc' command works properly on IBM System z architectures.
