+Debian Bug     : 701744
+
+Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead
+to a denial of service, information leak or privilege escalation. The Common
+Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:
+
+CVE-2013-1059
+
+    Chanam Park reported an issue in the Ceph distributed storage system.
+    Remote users can cause a denial of service by sending a specially crafted
+    auth_reply message.
+
+CVE-2013-2148
+
+    Dan Carpenter reported an information leak in the filesystem wide access
+    notification subsystem (fanotify). Local users could gain access to
+    sensitive kernel memory.
+
+CVE-2013-2164
+
+    Jonathan Salwan reported an information leak in the CD-ROM driver. A
+    local user on a system with a malfunctioning CD-ROM drive could gain
+    access to sensitive memory.
+
+CVE-2013-2232
+
+    Dave Jones and Hannes Frederic Sowa resolved an issue in the IPv6
+    subsystem. Local users could cause a denial of service by using an
+    AF_INET6 socket to connect to an IPv4 destination.
+
+CVE-2013-2234
+
+    Mathias Krause reported a memory leak in the implementation of PF_KEYv2
+    sockets. Local users could gain access to sensitive kernel memory.
+
+CVE-2013-2237
+
+    Nicolas Dichtel reported a memory leak in the implementation of PF_KEYv2
+    sockets. Local users could gain access to sensitive kernel memory.
+
+CVE-2013-2851
+
+    Kees Cook reported an issue in the block subsystem. Local users with
+    uid 0 could gain elevated ring 0 privileges. This is only a security
+    issue for certain specially configured systems.
+
+CVE-2013-2852
+
+    Kees Cook reported an issue in the b43 network driver for certain Broadcom
+    wireless devices. Local users with uid 0 could gain elevated ring 0 
+    privileges. This is only a security issue for certain specially configured
+    systems.
+
+CVE-2013-4162
+
+    Hannes Frederic Sowa reported an issue in the IPv6 networking subsystem.
+    Local users can cause a denial of service (system crash).
+
+CVE-2013-4163
+
+    Dave Jones reported an issue in the IPv6 networking subsystem. Local
+    users can cause a denial of service (system crash).
+
+This update also includes a fix for a regression in the Xen subsystem.
+
+For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems has been fixed in version
+3.2.46-1+deb7u1.
+
+The following matrix lists additional source packages that were rebuilt for
+compatibility with or to take advantage of this update:
+
+                                             Debian 7.0 (wheezy)
+     user-mode-linux                         3.2-2um-1+deb7u2
+
+We recommend that you upgrade your linux and user-mode-linux packages.
+
+Note: Debian carefully tracks all known security issues across every
+linux kernel package in all releases under active security support.
+However, given the high frequency at which low-severity security
+issues are discovered in the kernel and the resource requirements of
+doing an update, updates for lower priority issues will normally not
+be released for all kernels at the same time. Rather, they will be
+released in a staggered or "leap-frog" fashion.

+these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
