Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1971-01 - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation handled malformed or duplicate Address Configuration Change Chunks. A remote attacker could use either of these flaws to crash the system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation handled the association's output queue. A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets that would cause the system to use an excessive amount of memory, leading to a denial of service.
259b2a7a6414f480013fd35c56afb4dd38c3314536fa54e70f0ac1b44239b896Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1392-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol implementation handled simultaneous connections between the same hosts. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system. An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Frame Buffer device implementation mapped kernel memory to user space via the mmap syscall. A local user able to access a frame buffer device file could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

A guest OS user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (host OS crash). Andy Lutomirski discovered a flaw in the authorization of netlink socket operations when a socket is passed to a process of more privilege. A local user could exploit this flaw to bypass access restrictions by having a privileged executable do something it was not intended to do. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local attacker could exploit this flaw to obtain potentially sensitive single-bit values from kernel memory or cause a denial of service (OOPS). An information leak was discovered in the rd_mcp backend of the iSCSI target subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to obtain sensitive information from ramdisk_mcp memory by leveraging access to a SCSI initiator. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (system crash) via an open system call. Toralf reported an error in the Linux kernels syscall auditing on 32 bit x86 platforms. A local user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (OOPS and system crash). An information leak was discovered in the control implementation of the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) subsystem in the Linux kernel. A local user could exploit this flaw to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory. Various other issues were also addressed.

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Stream Control Transmission Protocol implementation handled simultaneous connections between the same hosts. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system. Multiple use-after-free flaws and an integer overflow flaw were found in the way the Linux kernel's Advanced Linux Sound Architecture implementation handled user controls. A local, privileged user could use either of these flaws to crash the system.
