[Rdo-list] [package announce] Moderate: kernel security and enhancement update

RDO includes a custom Enterprise Linux 6.4 kernel. These custom kernel packages include extra networking functionality required to facilitate advanced OpenStack Networking deployments. This update fixes 2 moderate security issues: * A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's TCP/IP protocol suite implementation handled IPv6 sockets that used the UDP_CORK option. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service. https://www.redhat.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2013-4162.html * An information leak flaw was found in the way Linux kernel's device mapper subsystem, under certain conditions, interpreted data written to snapshot block devices. An attacker could use this flaw to read data from disk blocks in free space, which are normally inaccessible. https://www.redhat.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2013-4299.html Red Hat would like to thank Hannes Frederic Sowa for reporting CVE-2013-4162; and Fujitsu for reporting CVE-2013-4299. This update also adds the following enhancements: * Support for Distributed Overlay Virtual Ethernet (DOVE). https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1009025 * Support for Virtual Extensible LAN (VXLAN) as an OpenvSwitch (OVS) tunneling type. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1009006 All RDO Enterprise Linux users deploying the OpenStack Networking service are advised to install these updated packages. The packages containing the fixes are: kernel-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6.src.rpm python-perf-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6.x86_64.rpm python-perf-debuginfo-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-headers-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6.x86_64.rpm perf-debuginfo-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debuginfo-common-x86_64-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6.x86_64.rpm perf-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-debuginfo-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6.x86_64.rpm kernel-firmware-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6.noarch.rpm kernel-doc-2.6.32-358.123.2.openstack.el6.noarch.rpm thanks, Pádraig.
