Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-0557-01 - The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A race condition leading to a use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's TCP/IP protocol suite implementation handled the addition of fragments to the LRU list under certain conditions. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system by sending a large amount of specially crafted fragmented packets to that system.

An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory. Matthew Daley reported a flaw in the handling of ioctl commands by the floppy disk driver in the Linux kernel. An unprivileged local user could exploit this flaw to gain administrative privileges if the floppy disk module is loaded. Various other issues were also addressed.
