Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Important: kernel-rt security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:1051-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-1051.html
Issue date: 2016-05-12
CVE Names: CVE-2016-0758
=====================================================================
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 Realtime (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 contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version:
kernel-rt (3.10.0-327.18.2). This version provides a number of bug fixes
and enhancements, including:
* [scsi] bnx2fc: Fix FCP RSP residual parsing and remove explicit logouts
* [scsi] mpt3sas: Fix for Asynchronous completion of timedout IO and task
abort of timedout IO
* [scsi] scsi_error: should not get sense for timeout IO in scsi error
handler
* [scsi] Revert libiscsi: Reduce locking contention in fast path
* [mm] madvise: fix MADV_WILLNEED on shmem swapouts
* [cpufreq] intel_pstate: decrease number of "HWP enabled" messages and
enable HWP per CPU
* [kernel] sched: Robustify topology setup
* [kernel] sched/fair: Disable tg load_avg/runnable_avg update for
root_task_group
* [kernel] sched/fair: Move hot load_avg/runnable_avg into separate
cacheline
* [ib] mlx5: Fix RC transport send queue overhead computation
* [fs] nfsd: fix clp->cl_revoked list deletion causing softlock in nfsd
* [fs] ceph: multiple updates
(BZ#1322033)
Security Fix(es):
* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's ASN.1 DER decoder
processed certain certificate files with tags of indefinite length. A
local, unprivileged user could use a specially crafted X.509 certificate
DER file to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on
the system. (CVE-2016-0758, Important)
Red Hat would like to thank Philip Pettersson of Samsung for reporting this
issue.
Bug Fix(es):
* The hotplug lock and the console semaphore could be acquired in an
incorrect order, which could previously lead to a deadlock causing the
system console to freeze. The underlying code has been adjusted to acquire
the locks in the correct order, resolving the bug with the console.
(BZ#1324767)
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/):
1300257 - CVE-2016-0758 kernel: tags with indefinite length can corrupt pointers in asn1_find_indefinite_length()
1322033 - kernel-rt: update to the RHEL7.2.z batch#4 source tree
