Synopsis: Important: kernel security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:0345-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017-0345.html

Issue date: 2017-02-28

CVE Names: CVE-2017-6074

=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4

Advanced Update Support.

 

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 Server AUS (v. 6.4) - noarch, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional AUS (v. 6.4) - x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

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

operating system.

 

Security Fix(es):

 

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

Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP) implementation freed SKB (socket buffer)

resources for a DCCP_PKT_REQUEST packet when the IPV6_RECVPKTINFO option is

set on the socket. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to alter

the kernel memory, allowing them to escalate their privileges on the

system. (CVE-2017-6074, Important)

 

Red Hat would like to thank Andrey Konovalov (Google) for reporting this

issue.
