Description:
This updates kernel-vserver to upstream stable 3.4.34.

It also fixes the following security issues:

An unprivileged user can send a netlink message resulting in an
out-of-bounds access of the sock_diag_handlers[] array which, in turn,
allows userland to take over control while in kernel mode.
(CVE-2013-1763).

Linux kernel is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability
due to a tmpfs use-after-free error.
Local attackers can exploit the issue to execute arbitrary code with
kernel privileges or to crash the kernel, effectively denying service
to legitimate users (CVE-2013-1767).

Linux kernel built with Edgeport USB serial converter driver io_ti,
is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference flaw. It happens if the
device is disconnected while corresponding /dev/ttyUSB? file is in use.
An unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system, resulting
DoS (CVE-2013-1774).
