DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2013-4345: Off-by-one in the ANSI Crypto RNG.

An off-by-one flaw was found in the way the ANSI CPRNG implementation in
the Linux kernel processed non-block size aligned requests. This could lead
to random numbers being generated with less bits of entropy than expected
when ANSI CPRNG was used.


* CVE-2013-6378: Denial-of-service in Marvell 8xxx Libertas WLAN driver.

Incorrect validation of user supplied data in the Marvell 8xxx Libertas
WLAN driver could allow a privileged user to trigger an invalid pointer
dereference and crash the system.


* CVE-2013-4588: Buffer overflow in ipvs.

Missing boundary checks in the ipvs code could allow local users to gain
privileges when CONFIG_IP_VS is used by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability for a get- or setsockopt system call.
