1. Summary:
An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Extended Lifecycle Support.
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 Server (v. 5 ELS) - i386, noarch, s390x, x86_64
3. Description:
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
Security Fix(es):
* kernel: Use-after-free vulnerability in DCCP socket (CVE-2017-8824)
* kernel: Use-after-free in sys_mq_notify() (CVE-2017-11176)
* kernel: Use-after-free in snd_seq_ioctl_create_port() (CVE-2017-15265)
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.
Red Hat would like to thank Mohamed Ghannam for reporting CVE-2017-8824.
Bug Fix(es):
* Previously, on certain Intel 64 systems, the microcode contained a new
model-specific register (MSR) that was not present in the older microcode
running on CPUs that had not been updated yet. As a consequence, the system
crashed due to a general protection fault on a CPU running the older
microcode. This update fixes the bug by having the kernel use MSR access
routines that handle the general protection fault. As a result, the system
no longer crashes in the described scenario. (BZ#1651481)
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/):
1470659 - CVE-2017-11176 kernel: Use-after-free in sys_mq_notify()
1501878 - CVE-2017-15265 kernel: Use-after-free in snd_seq_ioctl_create_port()
