Description

Updated kernel-rt packages fixes multiple bugs and vulneraabilities Updated kernel-rt provides upstream 3.12.18 kernel and fixes the following security issues: Buffer overflow in the complete_emulated_mmio function in arch/x86/kvm/ x86.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.6 allows guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS by leveraging a loop that triggers an invalid memory copy affecting certain cancel_work_item data. (CVE-2014-0049) The get_rx_bufs function in drivers/vhost/net.c in the vhost-net subsystem in the Linux kernel package before 2.6.32-431.11.2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 does not properly handle vhost_get_vq_desc errors, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2014-0055) The cifs_iovec_write function in fs/cifs/file.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.5 does not properly handle uncached write operations that copy fewer than the requested number of bytes, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory, cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash), or possibly gain privileges via a writev system call with a crafted pointer. (CVE-2014-0069) drivers/vhost/net.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.10, when mergeable buffers are disabled, does not properly validate packet lengths, which allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and host OS crash) or possibly gain privileges on the host OS via crafted packets, related to the handle_rx and get_rx_bufs functions. (CVE-2014-0077) Integer overflow in the ping_init_sock function in net/ipv4/ping.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted application that leverages an improperly managed reference counter. (CVE-2014-2851) Oter fixes in this update: - switch hugepages back to madvise to fix performance regression (mga#12994) - enable Intel P-state driver (mga#13080) - fix r8169 suspend/resume issue (mga#13255) - RT patch has been updated to -rt25 For upstream merged fixes, read the referenced changelogs:
