Description

An error was discovered in the Linux kernel’s network TUN/TAP device
implementation. A local user with access to the TUN/TAP interface
(which is not available to unprivileged users until granted by a root
user) could exploit this flaw to crash the system or potential gain
administrative privileges. (CVE-2012-2136)

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Reliable Datagram Sockets
(RDS) protocol implementation. A local, unprivileged user could use
this flaw to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2012-2372)

An error was discovered in the Linux kernel’s memory subsystem
(hugetlb). An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to
cause a denial of service (crash the system). (CVE-2012-2390)
