Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-2584-02 - The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Security Fix: It was found that the Linux kernel's IPv6 implementation mishandled socket options. A local attacker could abuse concurrent access to the socket options to escalate their privileges, or cause a denial of service via a crafted sendmsg system call.

1. Summary:

An update for kernel-rt is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

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 for Real Time (v. 7) - noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Real Time for NFV (v. 7) - 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 Linux kernel's IPv6 implementation mishandled
socket options. A local attacker could abuse concurrent access to the
socket options to escalate their privileges, or cause a denial of service
(use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system call.
(CVE-2016-3841, Important)

* Several Moderate and Low impact security issues were found in the Linux
kernel. Space precludes documenting each of these issues in this advisory.
Refer to the CVE links in the References section for a description of each
of these vulnerabilities. (CVE-2013-4312, CVE-2015-8374, CVE-2015-8543,
CVE-2015-8812, CVE-2015-8844, CVE-2015-8845, CVE-2016-2053, CVE-2016-2069,

CVE-2016-4569, CVE-2016-4578)

Red Hat would like to thank Philip Pettersson (Samsung) for reporting
CVE-2016-2053; Tetsuo Handa for reporting CVE-2016-2847; the Virtuozzo
kernel team and Solar Designer (Openwall) for reporting CVE-2016-3156;
Justin Yackoski (Cryptonite) for reporting CVE-2016-2117; and Linn Crosetto
(HP) for reporting CVE-2016-3699. The CVE-2015-8812 issue was discovered by
Venkatesh Pottem (Red Hat Engineering); the CVE-2015-8844 and CVE-2015-8845
issues were discovered by Miroslav Vadkerti (Red Hat Engineering); the
CVE-2016-4581 issue was discovered by Eric W. Biederman (Red Hat); the
CVE-2016-6198 issue was discovered by CAI Qian (Red Hat); and the
CVE-2016-3070 issue was discovered by Jan Stancek (Red Hat).
