Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Important: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:0386-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017-0386.html

Issue date: 2017-03-02

CVE Names: CVE-2016-8630 CVE-2016-8655 CVE-2016-9083

CVE-2016-9084

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

 

1. Summary:

 

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.

 

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 ComputeNode Optional (v. 7) - x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 7) - noarch, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 7) - ppc64, ppc64le, 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.

 

Security Fix(es):

 

* Linux kernel built with the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (CONFIG_KVM)

support is vulnerable to a null pointer dereference flaw. It could occur on

x86 platform, when emulating an undefined instruction. An attacker could

use this flaw to crash the host kernel resulting in DoS. (CVE-2016-8630,

Important)

 

* A race condition issue leading to a use-after-free flaw was found in the

way the raw packet sockets implementation in the Linux kernel networking

subsystem handled synchronization while creating the TPACKET_V3 ring

buffer. A local user able to open a raw packet socket (requires the

CAP_NET_RAW capability) could use this flaw to elevate their privileges on

the system. (CVE-2016-8655, Important)

 

* A flaw was discovered in the Linux kernel's implementation of VFIO. An

attacker issuing an ioctl can create a situation where memory is corrupted

and modify memory outside of the expected area. This may overwrite kernel

memory and subvert kernel execution. (CVE-2016-9083, Important)

 

* The use of a kzalloc with an integer multiplication allowed an integer

overflow condition to be reached in vfio_pci_intrs.c. This combined with

CVE-2016-9083 may allow an attacker to craft an attack and use unallocated

memory, potentially crashing the machine. (CVE-2016-9084, Moderate)

 

Red Hat would like to thank Philip Pettersson for reporting CVE-2016-8655.
