Title: Linux kernel vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Andrew Honig reported a flaw in the way KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine)
emulated the IOAPIC. A privileged guest user could exploit this flaw to
read host memory or cause a denial of service (crash the host).
