(CVE-2011-1476) Dan Rosenberg reported errors in the kernel's OSS (Open Sound System) driver for Yamaha FM synthesizer chips.

(CVE-2011-1477) Ben Hutchings reported a flaw in the kernel's handling of corrupt LDM partitions. A local user could exploit this to cause a denial of service or escalate privileges. (CVE-2011-2182) A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's NFSv4 (Network File System version 4) file system. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service by creating a file in a NFSv4 filesystem.
