                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Important: kernel-rt security and bug fix update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2017:1297-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise MRG for RHEL-6
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017:1297
Issue date:        2017-05-25
CVE Names:         CVE-2016-10208 CVE-2016-7910 CVE-2016-8646 
                   CVE-2017-7308 
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for kernel-rt is now available for Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score,
which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability
from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

MRG Realtime for RHEL 6 Server v.2 - noarch, x86_64

3. Description:

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables
fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.

Security Fix(es):

* It was found that the packet_set_ring() function of the Linux kernel's
networking implementation did not properly validate certain block-size
data. A local attacker with CAP_NET_RAW capability could use this flaw to
trigger a buffer overflow, resulting in the crash of the system. Due to the
nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out.
(CVE-2017-7308, Important)

* Mounting a crafted EXT4 image read-only leads to an attacker controlled
memory corruption and SLAB-Out-of-Bounds reads. (CVE-2016-10208, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of seq_file where a
local attacker could manipulate memory in the put() function pointer. This
could lead to memory corruption and possible privileged escalation.
(CVE-2016-7910, Moderate)

* A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel. An unprivileged local user
could trigger oops in shash_async_export() by attempting to force the
in-kernel hashing algorithms into decrypting an empty data set.
(CVE-2016-8646, Moderate)

Red Hat would like to thank Igor Redko (Virtuozzo kernel team) for
reporting CVE-2016-8646.

Bug Fix(es):

* The kernel-rt packages have been upgraded to the 3.10.0-514 source tree,
which provides a number of bug fixes over the previous version.
(BZ#1440807)
