impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which

gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the

References section.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client (v. 7) - noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client Optional (v. 7) - x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode (v. 7) - noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 7) - noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 7) - x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux

operating system.

 

* A use-after-free flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's key

management subsystem handled keyring object reference counting in certain

error path of the join_session_keyring() function. A local, unprivileged

user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

(CVE-2016-0728, Important)

 

Red Hat would like to thank the Perception Point research team for

reporting this issue.

 

All kernel users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
