Working fine on two workstations and two laptops at home and a workstation and server at work.  No noticeable regressions or issues noted in systemctl or journalctl.  Marking OK for Mageia 4 i586.

I hope the glibc update will be assigned to QA soon so that we can push them at the same time.

This is sufficiently tested for validation.

Hopefully we can get glibc and dbus validated soon too to go with it.

This will of course need an advisory as well.

Be specific.

I start with a completely blank drive then install, then update 4.1,
make sure that works ( didn't work the first time ), then install VirtualBox,
make sure that works. Reboot recheck everything, then update the kernel, reboot,
make sure that works and then make sure VirtualBox still works. Test platform
also has an Nvidia board which adds to the excitement.
Be done in a min with 64-bit.

Before this is pushed I'd like to ensure nvidia drivers especially, but others too, are installed correctly when this is installed with dbus and glibc at the same time.

Removing validation for now until it's more thoroughly tested.

I'll run i586 on real hardware tomorrow and the other kernels in
Vbox in the next days. Goal is to get through all of them by Sat/Sun.
Others need to test too. Yup, the Nvidia thing can get ya. In my
test in Comment #9 dbus and glibc were being updated too:

[root@localhost wilcal]# urpmi dbus
Package dbus-1.6.18-1.10.mga4.x86_64 is already installed
[root@localhost wilcal]# urpmi glibc
Package glibc-2.18-9.9.mga4.x86_64 is already installed

It takes hours to do just this one kernel ( Comment #9 ).

I've tested it on 6 physical machines with three different classes of hardware (2 non-OEM workstations, a Dell desktop, a Dell server-class machine, and two laptops) as well as in Virtualbox, tested desktop and server variants, and two other distinct people have reported tests from the other architecture.  It has been thoroughly tested.  That being said, it's fair to double-check the nvidia thing since there were problems last time it was updated.  I wouldn't expect the kernel/glibc/dbus update would be pushed before this weekend anyway.  I'll validate it then if it hasn't been before then.

Advisory:
This kernel update is based on upstream -longterm 3.14.32 and fixes the 
following security issues:

The Linux kernel through 3.17.4 does not properly restrict dropping of
supplemental group memberships in certain namespace scenarios, which allows
local users to bypass intended file permissions by leveraging a POSIX ACL
containing an entry for the group category that is more restrictive than
the entry for the other category, aka a "negative groups" issue, related to
kernel/groups.c, kernel/uid16.c, and kernel/user_namespace.c (CVE-2014-8989).

The batadv_frag_merge_packets function in net/batman-adv/fragmentation.c in
the B.A.T.M.A.N. implementation in the Linux kernel through 3.18.1 uses an
incorrect length field during a calculation of an amount of memory, which
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (mesh-node system crash)
via fragmented packets (CVE-2014-9428).

Race condition in the key_gc_unused_keys function in security/keys/gc.c
in the Linux kernel through 3.18.2 allows local users to cause a denial
of service (memory corruption or panic) or possibly have unspecified other
impact via keyctl commands that trigger access to a key structure member
during garbage collection of a key (CVE-2014-9529).

The parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal function in fs/isofs/rock.c in the Linux
kernel before 3.18.2 does not validate a length value in the Extensions
Reference (ER) System Use Field, which allows local users to obtain sensitive
information from kernel memory via a crafted iso9660 image (CVE-2014-9584).

The vdso_addr function in arch/x86/vdso/vma.c in the Linux kernel through
3.18.2 does not properly choose memory locations for the vDSO area, which
makes it easier for local users to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism by
guessing a location at the end of a PMD (CVE-2014-9585).

Linux Kernel 2.6.38 through 3.18 are affected by a flaw in the Crypto API
that allows any local user to load any installed kernel module on systems
where CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API=y by abusing the request_module() call
(CVE-2013-7421, CVE-2014-9644).

When hitting an sctp INIT collision case during the 4WHS with AUTH enabled,
it can create a local denial of service by triggerinf a panic on server side
(CVE-2015-1421).

It was found that routing packets to too many different dsts/too fast can
lead to a excessive resource consumption. A remote attacker can use this
flaw to crash the system (CVE-2015-1465).

For other fixes in this update, see the referenced changelogs.

Whiteboard: MGA4-32-OK MGA4-64-OK => advisory MGA4-32-OK MGA4-64-OK

Late but... installed the kernel along with glibc, dbus, X11 server. Having AMD/ATI/Radeon graphics, booting now complains about fglrx wanting kernel-devel, so cannot install that module. But it goes on to work anyway.

CC: (none) => lewyssmith

dkms-* packages build themselves so need the kernel-*-devel-latest package to be installed that matches your kernel.
