Detail
Problem Description: Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and two bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 Advanced Update Support. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server AUS (v. 6.4) - i386, noarch, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional AUS (v. 6.4) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 3. Description: The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. * It was found that the Linux kernel's Infiniband subsystem did not properly sanitize input parameters while registering memory regions from user space via the (u)verbs API. A local user with access to a /dev/infiniband/uverbsX device could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-8159, Important) * An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Frame Buffer device implementation mapped kernel memory to user space via the mmap syscall. A local user able to access a frame buffer device file (/dev/fb*) could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2013-2596, Important) * It was found that the parse_rock_ridge_inode_internal() function of the Linux kernel's ISOFS implementation did not correctly check relocated directories when processing Rock Ridge child link (CL) tags. An attacker with physical access to the system could use a specially crafted ISO image to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-5471, CVE-2014-5472, Low) Red Hat would like to thank Mellanox for reporting the CVE-2014-8159 issue. This update also fixes the following bugs: * The kernel could sometimes panic due to a possible division by zero in the kernel scheduler. This bug has been fixed by defining a new div64_ul() division function and correcting the affected calculation in the proc_sched_show_task() function. (BZ#1199898) * When repeating a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) value during a leap second (when the UTC time should be 23:59:60), the International Atomic Time (TAI) timescale previously stopped as the kernel NTP code incremented the TAI offset one second too late. A patch has been provided, which fixes the bug by incrementing the offset during the leap second itself. Now, the correct TAI is set during the leap second. (BZ#1201672) All kernel users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. For details on how to apply this update, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 1034490 - CVE-2013-2596 kernel: integer overflow in fb_mmap 1134099 - CVE-2014-5471 CVE-2014-5472 kernel: isofs: unbound recursion when processing relocated directories 1181166 - CVE-2014-8159 kernel: infiniband: uverbs: unprotected physical memory access |
