Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0476-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the qeth_snmp_command() function in the Linux kernel's QETH network device driver implementation handled SNMP IOCTL requests with an out-of-bounds length. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Adaptec RAID controller checked permissions of compat IOCTLs. A local attacker could use this flaw to bypass intended security restrictions.
