CVE-2013-4579 [MEDIUM] Linux kernel (OMAP4) vulnerabilities
Title: Linux kernel (OMAP4) vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in the kernel.
Mathy Vanhoef discovered an error in the the way the ath9k driver was
handling the BSSID masking. A remote attacker could exploit this error to
discover the original MAC address after a spoofing atack. (CVE-2013-4579)
Andrew Honig reported a flaw in the Linux Kernel's kvm_vm_ioctl_create_vcpu
function of the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) subsystem. A local user could
exploit this flaw to gain privileges on the host machine. (CVE-2013-4587)
Andrew Honig reported a flaw in the apic_get_tmcct function of the Kernel
Virtual Machine (KVM) subsystem if the Linux kernel. A guest OS user could
exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service or host OS system crash.
