CVE-2014-0149 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2014-0149):

Buffer overflow in the complete_emulated_mmio function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel before 
3.13.6 allows guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS by leveraging a loop that triggers 
an invalid memory copy affecting certain cancel_work_item data.

Hm, what happened here? The CVE description is now, "Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Red Hat JBoss Web Framework Kit 2.5.0 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a (1) parameter or (2) id name."

I see what happened (thanks ionen!), the CVE is typo'd.

CVE-2014-0049:

"Buffer overflow in the complete_emulated_mmio function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.6 allows guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS by leveraging a loop that triggers an invalid memory copy affecting certain cancel_work_item data."
