"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) :

* It was found that the Linux kernel's IPv6 implementation mishandled
socket options. A local attacker could abuse concurrent access to the
socket options to escalate their privileges, or cause a denial of
service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system
call. (CVE-2016-3841, Important)

* Several Moderate and Low impact security issues were found in the
Linux kernel. Space precludes documenting each of these issues in this
advisory. Refer to the CVE links in the References section for a
description of each of these vulnerabilities. (CVE-2013-4312,

"From Red Hat Security Advisory 2016:2574 :

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) :

* It was found that the Linux kernel's IPv6 implementation mishandled
socket options. A local attacker could abuse concurrent access to the
socket options to escalate their privileges, or cause a denial of
service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system
call. (CVE-2016-3841, Important)

* Several Moderate and Low impact security issues were found in the
Linux kernel. Space precludes documenting each of these issues in this
advisory. Refer to the CVE links in the References section for a
description of each of these vulnerabilities. (CVE-2013-4312,

Red Hat would like to thank Philip Pettersson (Samsung) for reporting
CVE-2016-2053; Tetsuo Handa for reporting CVE-2016-2847; the Virtuozzo
kernel team and Solar Designer (Openwall) for reporting CVE-2016-3156;
Justin Yackoski (Cryptonite) for reporting CVE-2016-2117; and Linn
Crosetto (HP) for reporting CVE-2016-3699. The CVE-2015-8812 issue was
discovered by Venkatesh Pottem (Red Hat Engineering); the
CVE-2015-8844 and CVE-2015-8845 issues were discovered by Miroslav
Vadkerti (Red Hat Engineering); the CVE-2016-4581 issue was discovered
by Eric W. Biederman (Red Hat); the CVE-2016-6198 issue was discovered
by CAI Qian (Red Hat); and the CVE-2016-3070 issue was discovered by
Jan Stancek (Red Hat).

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 kernel was updated to 4.4.156 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : CVE-2018-16597: Incorrect access checking in overlayfs mounts could have been used by local attackers to modify or truncate files in the underlying filesystem (bnc#1106512). CVE-2018-14613: Prevent invalid pointer dereference in io_ctl_map_page() when mounting and operating a crafted btrfs image, caused by a lack of block group item validation in check_leaf_item (bsc#1102896) CVE-2018-14617: Prevent NULL pointer dereference and panic in hfsplus_lookup() when opening a file (that is purportedly a hard link) in an hfs+ filesystem that has malformed catalog data, and is mounted read-only without a metadata directory (bsc#1102870) CVE-2018-16276: Incorrect bounds checking in the yurex USB driver in yurex_read allowed local attackers to use user access read/writes to crash the kernel or potentially escalate privileges (bsc#1106095) CVE-2018-7757: Memory leak in the sas_smp_get_phy_events function in drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via many read accesses to files in the /sys/class/sas_phy directory, as demonstrated by the /sys/class/sas_phy/phy-1:0:12/invalid_dword_count file (bnc#1084536) CVE-2018-7480: The blkcg_init_queue function allowed local users to cause a denial of service (double free) or possibly have unspecified other impact by triggering a creation failure (bsc#1082863). CVE-2018-17182: The vmacache_flush_all function in mm/vmacache.c mishandled sequence number overflows. An attacker can trigger a use-after-free (and possibly gain privileges) via certain thread creation, map, unmap, invalidation, and dereference operations (bnc#1108399). The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionThe SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP3 Azure kernel was updated to 4.4.162 to receive various security and bugfixes. The following security bugs were fixed : CVE-2018-18281: The mremap() syscall performs TLB flushes after dropping pagetable locks. If a syscall such as ftruncate() removes entries from the pagetables of a task that is in the middle of mremap(), a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that permits access to a physical page after it has been released back to the page allocator and reused. (bnc#1113769). CVE-2018-18710: An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc in drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel memory because a cast from unsigned long to int interferes with bounds checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940 and CVE-2018-16658 (bnc#1113751). CVE-2018-18690: A local attacker able to set attributes on an xfs filesystem could make this filesystem non-operational until the next mount by triggering an unchecked error condition during an xfs attribute change, because xfs_attr_shortform_addname in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c mishandled ATTR_REPLACE operations with conversion of an attr from short to long form (bnc#1105025). CVE-2018-18386: drivers/tty/n_tty.c allowed local attackers (who are able to access pseudo terminals) to hang/block further usage of any pseudo terminal devices due to an EXTPROC versus ICANON confusion in TIOCINQ (bnc#1094825). CVE-2018-9516: In hid_debug_events_read of drivers/hid/hid-debug.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. (bnc#1108498). CVE-2018-14633: A security flaw was found in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in a way an authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a stack-based buffer overflow and smash up to 17 bytes of the stack. The attack requires the iSCSI target to be enabled on the victim host.
