Vulnerability Insight:
This update fixes several remote and local denial of service attacks and other issues:
CVE-2013-4387: ipv6: udp packets following an UFO enqueued packet need also be handled by UFO to prevent remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via network traffic that triggers a large response packet.
CVE-2013-4470: inet: fix possible memory corruption with UDP_CORK and UFO to prevent local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted application.
CVE-2014-0203: fix autofs/afs/etc. magic mountpoint breakage, preventing denial of service attacks by local users.
CVE-2014-2678: rds: prevent dereference of a NULL device in rds_iw_laddr_check to prevent local denial of service attacks (system crash or possibly have unspecified other impact).
CVE-2014-3122

CVE-2014-3144
/ CVE-2014-3145: A local user can cause a denial of service (system crash) via crafted BPF instructions.
CVE-2014-3917: auditsc: audit_krule mask accesses need bounds checking to prevent a local denial of service attack (OOPS) or possibly leaking sensitive single-bit values from kernel memory.
CVE-2014-4652: ALSA: control: Protect user controls against concurrent access, resulting in a race condition, possibly allowing local users access to sensitive information from kernel memory.
CVE-2014-4656: ALSA: control: Make sure that id->index does not overflow, to prevent a denial of service of the sound system by local users.
CVE-2014-4667: sctp: Fix sk_ack_backlog wrap-around problem, preventing denial of service (socket outage) via a crafted SCTP packet by remote attackers.
