Description of changes: * CVE-2011-4086: Denial of service in journaling block device. The journal block device assumed that a buffer marked as unwritten or delay could be live without checking if the buffer was mapped. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system. * CVE-2012-1601: Denial of service in KVM VCPU creation. Inconsistent state in the creation of KVM virtual CPU's could lead to NULL pointer dereferences. A unprivileged local user could use this flaw to crash the system.
