Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2014-02-13 15:38:24 UTC 
CVE-2014-1438 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-1438):
  The restore_fpu_checking function in arch/x86/include/asm/fpu-internal.h in
  the Linux kernel before 3.12.8 on the AMD K7 and K8 platforms does not clear
  pending exceptions before proceeding to an EMMS instruction, which allows
  local users to cause a denial of service (task kill) or possibly gain
  privileges via a crafted application.
