DESCRIPTION
* Improved fix to CVE-2015-2150: Denial-of-service in Xen PCI passthrough devices.
Incorrect restrictions to PCI device configuration could allow a
privileged user in a Xen guest to trigger a fatal NMI in the host. A
privileged, local user could use this flaw to cause a denial-of-service.
* CVE-2015-3331: Denial-of-service in Intel AES RFC4106 decryption.
Incorrect mapping of buffers in the Intel AES RFC4106 implementation
could result in a kernel crash. A local, unprivileged user with access
to AF_ALG(aead) sockets could use this flaw to trigger a
denial-of-service.
SUPPORT
Ksplice support is available at ksplice-support_ww at oracle.com.
