Red Hat has issued an update for the kernel. This fixes multiple
weaknesses and vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by malicious,
local users in a guest virtual machine to cause a DoS (Denial of
Service) and potentially gain escalated privileges, by malicious,
local users to disclose system information and cause a DoS, and by
malicious people to cause a DoS.

exploited to cause a crash and potentially gain escalated privileges.
