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: local privilege escalation by exploiting the fsconfig syscall
parameter leads to container breakout (CVE-2021-4154)

* kernel: xfs: raw block device data leak in XFS_IOC_ALLOCSP IOCTL
(CVE-2021-4155)

* kernel: fs_context: heap overflow in legacy parameter handling
(CVE-2022-0185)

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):

* kernnel-rt-debug: do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=1
set at [<0000000050e86018>] handle_userfault+0x530/0x1820 (BZ#2029421)

* kernel-rt: update RT source tree to the RHEL-8.4.z6 source tree
(BZ#2029592)
