From the Red Hat advisory:
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the setup_routing_entry() function in
the KVM subsystem of the Linux kernel in the way the Message Signaled
Interrupts (MSI) routing entry was handled. A local, unprivileged user
could use this flaw to cause a denial of service or, possibly, escalate
their privileges. (CVE-2012-2137)
A race condition was found in the Linux kernel's memory management
subsystem in the way pmd_populate() and pte_offset_map_lock() interacted on
32-bit x86 systems with more than 4GB of RAM. A local, unprivileged user
could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2012-2373) |
