This update fixes the following security issues :

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's IPv6     implementation handled certain UDP packets when the UDP     Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature was enabled. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system     or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the     system. (CVE-2013-4387, Important)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled the     creation of temporary IPv6 addresses. If the IPv6     privacy extension was enabled     (/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/use_tempaddr set to '2'),     an attacker on the local network could disable IPv6     temporary address generation, leading to a potential     information disclosure. (CVE-2013-0343, Moderate)

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled HID     (Human Interface Device) reports with an out-of-bounds     Report ID. An attacker with physical access to the     system could use this flaw to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2013-2888, Moderate)

  - An off-by-one flaw was found in the way the ANSI CPRNG     implementation in the Linux kernel processed non-block     size aligned requests. This could lead to random numbers     being generated with less bits of entropy than expected     when ANSI CPRNG was used. (CVE-2013-4345, Moderate)

  - It was found that the fix for CVE-2012-2375 released via     SLSA-2012:1580 accidentally removed a check for     small-sized result buffers. A local, unprivileged user     with access to an NFSv4 mount with ACL support could use     this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate     their privileges on the system . (CVE-2013-4591,     Moderate)

  - A flaw was found in the way IOMMU memory mappings were     handled when moving memory slots. A malicious user on a     KVM host who has the ability to assign a device to a     guest could use this flaw to crash the host.
    (CVE-2013-4592, Moderate)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way     the Zeroplus and Pantherlord/GreenAsia game controllers     handled HID reports. An attacker with physical access to     the system could use these flaws to crash the system or,     potentially, escalate their privileges on the system.
    (CVE-2013-2889, CVE-2013-2892, Moderate)

  - Two information leak flaws were found in the logical     link control (LLC) implementation in the Linux kernel. A     local, unprivileged user could use these flaws to leak     kernel stack memory to user space. (CVE-2012-6542,     CVE-2013-3231, Low)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow in the way the tg3 Ethernet     driver parsed the vital product data (VPD) of devices     could allow an attacker with physical access to a system     to cause a denial of service or, potentially, escalate     their privileges. (CVE-2013-1929, Low)

  - Information leak flaws in the Linux kernel could allow a     privileged, local user to leak kernel memory to user     space. (CVE-2012-6545, CVE-2013-1928, CVE-2013-2164,     CVE-2013-2234, Low)

  - A format string flaw was found in the Linux kernel's     block layer. A privileged, local user could potentially     use this flaw to escalate their privileges to kernel     level (ring0). (CVE-2013-2851, Low)

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
