Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel, kernel-userspace-headers, kmod-broadcom-wl, kmod-fglrx, kmod-nvidia173, kmod-nvidia304, kmod-nvidia-current, kmod-xtables-addons' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0392 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel, kernel-userspace-headers, kmod-broadcom-wl, kmod-fglrx, kmod-nvidia173, kmod-nvidia304, kmod-nvidia-current, kmod-xtables-addons' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0392 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
This kernel update provides an update based on upstream
3.10.54 from the 3.10 -longterm branch. It also fixes the
following security issue:

The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in virt/kvm/iommu.c in the Linux
kernel through 3.16.1 miscalculates the number of pages during the
handling of a mapping failure, which allows guest OS users to (1)
cause a denial of service (host OS memory corruption) or possibly
have unspecified other impact by triggering a large gfn value or
(2) cause a denial of service (host OS memory consumption) by
triggering a small gfn value that leads to permanently pinned
pages. (CVE-2014-3601)

For other changes, see the referenced changelogs.

Affected Software/OS:
'kernel, kernel-userspace-headers, kmod-broadcom-wl, kmod-fglrx, kmod-nvidia173, kmod-nvidia304, kmod-nvidia-current, kmod-xtables-addons' package(s) on Mageia 3.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
