  • An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s Frame Buffer device implementation mapped kernel memory to user space via the mmap syscall. A local user able to access a frame buffer device file (/dev/fb*) could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2013-2596, Important)

    • It was found that the Xen hypervisor x86 CPU emulator implementation did not correctly handle certain instructions with segment overrides, potentially resulting in a memory corruption. A malicious guest user could use this flaw to read arbitrary data relating to other guests, cause a denial of service on the host, or potentially escalate their privileges on the host.
      (CVE-2015-2151, Important)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  • Previously, the CPU power of a CPU group could be zero.
    As a consequence, a kernel panic occurred at ‘find_busiest_group+570’ with do_divide_error. The provided patch ensures that the division is only performed if the CPU power is not zero, and the aforementioned panic no longer occurs.

  • Prior to this update, a bug occurred when performing an online resize of an ext4 file system which had been previously converted from ext3. As a consequence, the kernel crashed. The provided patch fixes online resizing for such file systems by limiting the blockgroup search loop for non- extent files, and the mentioned kernel crash no longer occurs.

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
