RedHat: RHSA-2018-1355:01 Important: kernel-rt security and bug fix update
Summary
The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables
fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.
Security Fix(es):
* Kernel: KVM: error in exception handling leads to wrong debug stack value
(CVE-2018-1087)
* Kernel: error in exception handling leads to DoS (CVE-2018-8897)
* Kernel: ipsec: xfrm: use-after-free leading to potential privilege
escalation (CVE-2017-16939)
* kernel: Out-of-bounds write via userland offsets in ebt_entry struct in
netfilter/ebtables.c (CVE-2018-1068)
* kernel: ptrace() incorrect error handling leads to corruption and DoS
(CVE-2018-1000199)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in
the References section.
Red Hat would like to thank Andy Lutomirski for reporting CVE-2018-1087 and
CVE-2018-1000199 and Nick Peterson (Everdox Tech LLC) and Andy Lutomirski
for reporting CVE-2018-8897.
Bug Fix(es):
* The kernel-rt packages have been upgraded to the 3.10.0-862.2.3 source
