    An update that fixes one vulnerability is now available.

    Description:


    The Hyper-V userland daemon was updated to match the
    current kernel Hyper-V feature level.

    It brings key-value-pair storage that can be queried by the
    kernel via the netlink interface and can pass information
    out to the Hyper-V hypervisor.

    The netlink query code was adjusted to only allow the Linux
    kernel to access it via netlink messages (CVE-2012-2669).
