3. Description:
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
* A race condition flaw, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, was found
in the way the Linux kernel's N_TTY line discipline (LDISC) implementation
handled concurrent processing of echo output and TTY write operations
originating from user space when the underlying TTY driver was PTY.
An unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to crash the system or,
potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-0196,
Important)
All kernel users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. 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.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the
Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/11258
To install kernel packages manually, use "rpm -ivh [package]". Do not use
"rpm -Uvh" as that will remove the running kernel binaries from your
system. You may use "rpm -e" to remove old kernels after determining that
the new kernel functions properly on your system.
5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
1094232 - CVE-2014-0196 kernel: pty layer race condition leading to memory corruption
