Ubuntu Security Notice 1380-1 - The linux kernel did not properly account for PTE pages when deciding which task to kill in out of memory conditions. A local, unprivileged could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service. A flaw was discovered in the TOMOYO LSM's handling of mount system calls. An unprivileged user could oops the system causing a denial of service. A bug was discovered in the Linux kernel's calculation of OOM (Out of memory) scores, that would result in the wrong process being killed. A user could use this to kill the process with the highest OOM score, even if that process belongs to another user or the system. Various other issues were also addressed.
