Installed VirtualBox on this machine and created a Mageia 5 guest, allocating the maximum RAM allowed. While the guest was running, I did other things to see how well the server kernel handled RAM usage above 4GB. All went well. If swap was being used, I didn't notice it.

Works fine on Mageia 5 x86_64, kernel-desktop + nvidia-current through bumblebee (dkms-bbswitch works fine too).

Advisory (also added to svn);

  This kernel update is based on upstream 4.1.15 longterm kernel and fixes
  the following security issues:

  The __rds_conn_create function in net/rds/connection.c in the Linux kernel
  through 4.2.3 allows local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
  dereference and system crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by
  using a socket that was not properly bound (CVE-2015-6937).

  The key_gc_unused_keys function in security/keys/gc.c in the Linux kernel
  through 4.2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) via
  crafted keyctl commands (CVE-2015-7872).

  The vivid_fb_ioctl function in drivers/media/platform/vivid/vivid-osd.c in
  the Linux kernel through 4.3.3 does not initialize a certain structure
  member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from
  kernel memory via a crafted application (CVE-2015-7884).

  The dgnc_mgmt_ioctl function in drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c in the
  Linux kernel through 4.3.3 does not initialize a certain structure member,
  which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory
  via a crafted application (CVE-2015-7885).

  Felix Wilhelm discovered a race condition in the Xen paravirtualized
  drivers which can cause double fetch vulnerabilities. An attacker in the
  paravirtualized guest could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service
  (crash the host) or potentially execute arbitrary code on the host
  (CVE-2015-8550 / XSA-155).

  Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk discovered the Xen PCI backend driver does not
  perform sanity checks on the device's state. An attacker could exploit
  this flaw to cause a denial of service (NULL dereference) on the host
  (CVE-2015-8551 / XSA-157).

  Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk discovered the Xen PCI backend driver does not
  perform sanity checks on the device's state. An attacker could exploit
  this flaw to cause a denial of service by flooding the logging system
  with WARN() messages causing the initial domain to exhaust disk space
  (CVE-2015-8552 / XSA-157).

  The ovl_setattr function in fs/overlayfs/inode.c in the Linux kernel
  through 4.3.3 attempts to merge distinct setattr operations, which allows
  local users to bypass intended access restrictions and modify the
  attributes of arbitrary overlay files via a crafted application
  (CVE-2015-8660).

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