Detail
Problem Description: An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 Extended Update Support. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. 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. 7.5) - noarch, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional EUS (v. 7.5) - x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 7.5) - noarch, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional EUS (v. 7.5) - ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64 3. Description: The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * kernel: userfaultfd bypasses tmpfs file permissions (CVE-2018-18397) 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. Bug Fix(es): * When applying two instances of the kprobe debugging mechanism to the same function, one of the kprobes in some cases failed, depending on the kernel address space layout. Consequently, a kprobe registration error occurred. This update fixes the bug in the kprobes registration code to properly detect and handle ftrace-based kprobes. As a result, both kprobes now apply successfully in the described scenario. (BZ#1647815) * Under heavy mad packet load, the SELinux checks in the mad packet queries for InfiniBand (IB) fabrics significantly increased the mad packet execution time. Consequently, if a single machine was executing a large perfquery to the IB switches of a High Performance (HPC) fabric, mad_rpc timeouts occurred, and the query failed even with SELinux disabled. This update eliminates the SELinux checks when SELinux is disabled. As a result, the mad packet queries through perfquery now have their original run times when SELinux is disabled. (BZ#1648810) * Previously, a file-system shutdown process caused by an I/O error could race against a running fstrim process to acquire a xfs buffer lock. Consequently, the file-system shutdown process never completed due to a deadlock and the file-system became unresponsive, unable to be unmounted. This update fixes the lock ordering so that the deadlock no longer occurs and the file-system shutdown process now completes in the described scenario. (BZ#1657142) 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. 5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 1641548 - CVE-2018-18397 kernel: userfaultfd bypasses tmpfs file permissions |
