If you want to know specifics ... you can start with (if you have the
RPM and it is not installed):

rpm --changelog -qp kernel-xxxxx.rpm | less

(using the new kernel)

If it is installed ... 

rpm --changelog -q kernel-xxxxx | less
---------------------------------------------------
It will tell you any changes that they noted

It should list bugzilla entries and CVE numbers ... all of which you can
research at bugzilla.redhat.com or the google if you see a specific item
that you need more info on.
