MIME-Version: 1.0

Synopsis: Moderate: kernel security and bug fix update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2013:1436-1
Issue Date: 2013-10-16
CVE Numbers: CVE-2013-4162
 CVE-2013-4299
--

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's TCP/IP protocol suite
implementation handled IPv6 sockets that used the UDP_CORK option. A
local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.
(CVE-2013-4162, Moderate)

* An information leak flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's device
mapper subsystem, under certain conditions, interpreted data written to
snapshot block devices. An attacker could use this flaw to read data from
disk blocks in free space, which are normally inaccessible.
(CVE-2013-4299, Moderate)

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