Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Important: kernel security and bug fix update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:0501-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017-0501.html
Issue date: 2017-03-14
CVE Names: CVE-2017-6074
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2
Extended Update Support.
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:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode EUS (v. 7.2) - noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional EUS (v. 7.2) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 7.2) - noarch, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x,
x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional EUS (v. 7.2) - ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64
3. Description:
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
Security Fix(es):
* A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Datagram
Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) implementation freed SKB (socket buffer)
resources for a DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet when the IPV6_RECVPKTINFO option is
set on the socket. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to alter
the kernel memory, allowing them to escalate their privileges on the
system. (CVE-2017-6074, Important)
Red Hat would like to thank Andrey Konovalov (Google) for reporting this
issue.
Bug Fix(es):
* Previously, running the "ethtool -S" command to get the statistics of
a
Brocade Network Adapter (BNA) sometimes caused a kernel panic. This update
applies a set of patches to the bna driver, and the kernel panic no longer
occurs in the described scenario. (BZ#1408130)
* Use of a multi-threaded workload with high memory mappings sometimes
caused a kernel panic, due to a race condition between the context switch
and the pagetable upgrade. This update fixes the switch_mm() by using the
complete asce parameter instead of the asce_bits parameter. As a result,
the kernel no longer panics in the described scenario. (BZ#1410865)
* Previously, the kernel was sending a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
window which had a size of zero for a socket with an empty receive queue.
Consequently, the TCP session became unresponsive. This update fixes the
ibmveth driver to set correct values of the gso_size and gso_type variables
and to calculate the value of the gso_segs variable for large packets. As a
result, the TCP session no longer hangs in the described scenario.
(BZ#1411381)
* Previously, booting a kdump kernel in some cases failed with this error:
Kernel panic - not syncing: Watchdog detected hard LOCKUP on CPU 0.
This update ensures that the hpet timer software counters, including
hpet_default_delta and hpet_t1_cmp, are initialized before an interrupt
request is registered, and the kdump kernel now boots without the mentioned
error message. (BZ#1404183)
* When one of the drives became unresponsive, all other drives
intermittently hung, because the megaraid_sas driver incorrectly sent a
reset request to the PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC). This update fixes
megaraid_sas, and thus the hang of one drive no longer leads to
intermittent loss of access to all drives on the system. (BZ#1398174)
4. Solution:
For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:
https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258
The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
