[RHSA-2020:5441-01] Important: kernel-rt security and bug fix update

Tue Dec 15 11:26:49 UTC 2020

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 for Real Time (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 provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables
fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: metadata validator in XFS may cause an inode with a valid,
user-creatable extended attribute to be flagged as corrupt (CVE-2020-14385)

* kernel: The flow_dissector feature allows device tracking
(CVE-2019-18282)

* kernel: Buffer over-read in crypto_authenc_extractkeys() when a payload
longer than 4 bytes is not aligned. (CVE-2020-10769)

* kernel: buffer uses out of index in ext3/4 filesystem (CVE-2020-14314)

* kernel: umask not applied on filesystem without ACL support
(CVE-2020-24394)

* kernel: TOCTOU mismatch in the NFS client code (CVE-2020-25212)

* kernel: improper input validation in ppp_cp_parse_cr function leads to
memory corruption and read overflow (CVE-2020-25643)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

* kernel-rt: update to the latest RHEL7.9.z2 source tree (BZ#1873318)

* deadlock between handle_mm_fault() and ptep_clear_flush() (BZ#1888872)

4. Solution:
