72d50088cc453629042c1d2a8fe39ec8d1f2442c069a5c04c5bf02d848669ad6Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1212-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol implementation. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted SCTP packet to a target system, resulting in a denial of service. A flaw in the Linux kernel's client-side NFS Lock Manager implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service.
9c2edb7d23d2cfd9d86f0a74a4081f4a0dd2945dee2ad9e4a1c6c515861935c7Red Hat Security Advisory 2011-1189-01 - Updated kernel packages that fix several security issues, various bugs, and add two enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Using PCI passthrough without interrupt remapping support allowed KVM guests to generate MSI interrupts and thus potentially inject traps. A privileged guest user could use this flaw to crash the host or possibly escalate their privileges on the host. The fix for this issue can prevent PCI passthrough working and guests starting. Flaw in the client-side NLM implementation could allow a local, unprivileged user to cause a denial of service.
