INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack on Fedora 18 install
these updates.

On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,
these updates will be installed automatically and you do not need to
take any action.

Alternatively, you can install these updates by running:

# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y


DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2013-3222: Kernel stack information leak in ATM sockets.

Missing data clearing operations could allow an unprivileged user to
leak kernel stack memory to userspace.


* CVE-2013-3224: Kernel stack information leak in Bluetooth sockets.

Receiving messages from a bluetooth socket whilst the socket is
simultaneously being shut down could leak kernel stack bytes to
userspace allowing a local user to gain information about the running
kernel.


* CVE-2013-1979: Privilege escalation with UNIX socket credentials.

Incorrect passing of credentials over a UNIX domain socket could allow
an unprivileged user to use a setuid binary to escalate privileges to
superuser level.


* CVE-2013-3225: Kernel stack information leak in Bluetooth rfcomm.

Missing data clearing operations could allow a local user to leak kernel
stack memory to userspace.


* CVE-2013-3223: Kernel stack information leak in amateur radio drivers.

Missing initialization could allow a local user to leak kernel stack
information when receiving messages.


* CVE-2013-3076: Kernel stack information leak in userspace crypto API.

missing initialization could allow a local user to leak kernel stack
information when receiving results.


* CVE-2013-3234: Kernel stack information leak in ROSE protocol.

Missing initialization could allow a local user to leak kernel stack
information when receiving from a ROSE socket.


* CVE-2013-3233: Kernel stack information leak in NFC sockets.

Missing initialization could allow a local user to leak kernel stack
information when receiving messages.


* CVE-2013-3232: Kernel stack information leak in amateur radio NET/ROM driver.

Missing initialization could allow a local user to leak kernel stack
information when receiving messages from a NET/ROM socket.


* CVE-2013-3231: Kernel stack information leak in LLC sockets.

Missing initialization could allow a local user to leak kernel stack
information when receiving messages.


* CVE-2013-3230: Kernel stack information leak in L2TP sockets.

Missing initialization could allow a local user to leak kernel stack
information when receiving messages.


* CVE-2013-3228: Kernel stack information leak in IRDA sockets.

Missing initialization could allow a local user to leak kernel stack
information when receiving messages.
