3. Description:

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.

It was found that the RFC 5961 challenge ACK rate limiting as implemented 
in the Linux kernel's networking subsystem allowed an off-path attacker to 
leak certain information about a given connection by creating congestion on
the global challenge ACK rate limit counter and then measuring the changes 
by probing packets. An off-path attacker could use this flaw to either 
terminate TCP connection and/or inject payload into non-secured TCP 
connection between two endpoints on the network. (CVE-2016-5696, Important)

Red Hat would like to thank Yue Cao from Cyber Security Group in the CS
department of University of California, Riverside, for reporting this
issue.

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/):

1354708 - CVE-2016-5696 kernel: challenge ACK counter information disclosure.
