That's not william real hardware testing it's still inside virtualbox,please real hardware testing means it's installed to hard drive not in virtualbox disk best how to do it is usb hard drive.

Otto, please...

Wilcal knows what he's doing...

He tests both vbox installs and real hw, so he covers both...

Advisory:

This kernel update is based on upstream -longterm 3.10.58 and
fixes the following security issues:

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).

The assoc_array_gc function in the associative-array implementation
in lib/assoc_array.c in the Linux kernel before 3.16.3 does not
properly implement garbage collection, which allows local users to
cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system
crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via multiple
"keyctl newring" operations followed by a "keyctl timeout"
operation (CVE-2014-3631).

The pivot_root implementation in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel
through 3.17 does not properly interact with certain locations of
a chroot directory, which allows local users to cause a denial of
service (mount-tree loop) via . (dot) values in both arguments to
the pivot_root system call (CVE-2014-7970).

The do_umount function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel 
through 3.17 does not require the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for
do_remount_sb calls that change the root filesystem to read-only,
which allows local users to cause a denial of service (loss of
writability) by making certain unshare system calls, clearing the
/ MNT_LOCKED flag, and making an MNT_FORCE umount system call
(CVE-2014-7975).

For other fixes included in this update, read the referenced 
changelogs.

I'm not sure if this will be rebuilt again (synthesis issue requiring new perl-URPM), but this can be validated.  I'll leave this to Thomas.

Whiteboard: (none) => MGA3-32-OK MGA3-64-OK

I don't think the 3.10 branch is affected by the synthesis issue, the issue appeared with the 3.14 branch.

We can probably check this by trying to update a pristine Mageia 3 release with updates_testing repos enabled. Or maybe downgrading perl-URPM to the core/release version would be enough.

CC: (none) => remi

Advisory uploaded.

Whiteboard: MGA3-32-OK MGA3-64-OK => MGA3-32-OK MGA3-64-OK advisory

I confirm that after reverting to perl-URPM-4.27-1.mga3 from Core Release, I was still able to install the kernel update from testing.

Since Thomas is on the move, I guess we have to make the call for this one. WDYT David?

This one is good to go, but it'll go out with the virtualbox update, and therefore with the mga4 kernel update.  Honestly, we could validate those too, and I was planning to this past weekend, but never found time to re-do my mga4 virtualbox testing.  I guess it can wait a few more days.

Once the Mageia 4 kernel advisory is updated and uploaded, this update can be pushed.

(Yes, I meant Mageia 4, as that kernel, this one, and virtualbox, have to be pushed together.)

Keywords: (none) => validated_update
CC: (none) => sysadmin-bugs

An update for this issue has been pushed to Mageia Updates repository.
