"From Red Hat Security Advisory 2017:1842 :

An update for kernel 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.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.

Security Fix(es) :

* An use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel which enables a
race condition in the L2TPv3 IP Encapsulation feature. A local user
could use this flaw to escalate their privileges or crash the system.
(CVE-2016-10200, Important)

* A flaw was found that can be triggered in keyring_search_iterator in
keyring.c if type->match is NULL. A local user could use this flaw to
crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges.
(CVE-2017-2647, Important)

* It was found that the NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel did not
properly validate layout type when processing NFSv4 pNFS LAYOUTGET and
GETDEVICEINFO operands. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
soft-lockup the system and thus cause denial of service.
(CVE-2017-8797, Important)

This update also fixes multiple Moderate and Low impact security
issues :

* CVE-2015-8839, CVE-2015-8970, CVE-2016-9576, CVE-2016-7042,
CVE-2016-7097, CVE-2016-8645, CVE-2016-9576, CVE-2016-9588,
CVE-2016-9806, CVE-2016-10088, CVE-2016-10147, CVE-2017-2596,
CVE-2017-2671, CVE-2017-5970, CVE-2017-6001, CVE-2017-6951,
CVE-2017-7187, CVE-2017-7616, CVE-2017-7889, CVE-2017-8890,
CVE-2017-9074, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9075, CVE-2017-8890,
CVE-2017-9076, CVE-2017-8890, CVE-2017-9077, CVE-2017-9242,
CVE-2014-7970, CVE-2014-7975, CVE-2016-6213, CVE-2016-9604,
CVE-2016-9685

Documentation for these issues is available from the Release Notes
document linked from the References section.
