Created:July 8, 2013 Updated:August 20, 2013
Description: From the Red Hat bugzilla [1, 2]:

Linux kernel built with the IPSec key_socket support(CONFIG_NET_KEY=m) is vulnerable to an information leakage flaw. It occurs while using key_socket's notify interface.

A user/program able to access the PF_KEY key_sockets could use this flaw to leak kernel memory bytes. (CVE-2013-2234)

Linux kernel built with the Ceph core library(CONFIG_CEPH_LIB) support is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference flaw. It could occur while handling auth_reply messages from a CEPH client.

A remote user/program could use this flaw to crash the system, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2013-1059)
