Updated kernel packages that fix multiple security issues and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation handled malformed or duplicate Address Configuration Change Chunks (ASCONF). A remote attacker could use either of these flaws to crash the system. (CVE-2014-3673, CVE-2014-3687, Important)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation handled the association's output queue. A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets that would cause the system to use an excessive amount of memory, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2014-3688, Important)

* Two flaws were found in the way the Apple Magic Mouse/Trackpad multi-touch driver and the Minibox PicoLCD driver handled invalid HID reports. An attacker with physical access to the system could use these flaws to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-3181, CVE-2014-3186, Moderate)

* A memory corruption flaw was found in the way the USB ConnectTech WhiteHEAT serial driver processed completion commands sent via USB Request Blocks buffers. An attacker with physical access to the system could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2014-3185, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's keys subsystem handled the termination condition in the associative array garbage collection functionality. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2014-3631, Moderate)

* Multiple flaws were found in the way the Linux kernel's ALSA implementation handled user controls. A local, privileged user could use either of these flaws to crash the system. (CVE-2014-4654, CVE-2014-4655, CVE-2014-4656, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's VFS subsystem handled reference counting when performing unmount operations on symbolic links. A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to exhaust all available memory on the system or, potentially, trigger a use-after-free error, resulting in a system crash or privilege escalation. (CVE-2014-5045, Moderate)

* A flaw was found in the way the get_dumpable() function return value was interpreted in the ptrace subsystem of the Linux kernel. When 'fs.suid_dumpable' was set to 2, a local, unprivileged local user could use this flaw to bypass intended ptrace restrictions and obtain potentially sensitive information. (CVE-2013-2929, Low)

* A stack overflow flaw caused by infinite recursion was found in the way the Linux kernel's UDF file system implementation processed indirect ICBs. An attacker with physical access to the system could use a specially crafted UDF image to crash the system. (CVE-2014-6410, Low)

* An information leak flaw in the way the Linux kernel handled media device enumerate entities IOCTL requests could allow a local user able to access the /dev/media0 device file to leak kernel memory bytes.
(CVE-2014-1739, Low)

* An information leak flaw in the Linux kernel's ALSA implementation could allow a local, privileged user to leak kernel memory to user space. (CVE-2014-4652, Low)

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Linux kernel that may lead to a denial of service :

  - CVE-2014-3610     Lars Bull of Google and Nadav Amit reported a flaw in     how KVM handles noncanonical writes to certain MSR     registers. A privileged guest user can exploit this flaw     to cause a denial of service (kernel panic) on the host.

  - CVE-2014-3611     Lars Bull of Google reported a race condition in the PIT     emulation code in KVM. A local guest user with access to     PIT i/o ports could exploit this flaw to cause a denial     of service (crash) on the host.

  - CVE-2014-3645/ CVE-2014-3646     The Advanced Threat Research team at Intel Security     discovered that the KVM subsystem did not handle the VM     exits gracefully for the invept (Invalidate Translations     Derived from EPT) and invvpid (Invalidate Translations     Based on VPID) instructions. On hosts with an Intel     processor and invept/invppid VM exit support, an     unprivileged guest user could use these instructions to     crash the guest.

  - CVE-2014-3647     Nadav Amit reported that KVM mishandles noncanonical     addresses when emulating instructions that change rip,     potentially causing a failed VM-entry. A guest user with     access to I/O or the MMIO can use this flaw to cause a     denial of service (system crash) of the guest.

  - CVE-2014-3673     Liu Wei of Red Hat discovered a flaw in     net/core/skbuff.c leading to a kernel panic when     receiving malformed ASCONF chunks. A remote attacker     could use this flaw to crash the system.

  - CVE-2014-3687     A flaw in the sctp stack was discovered leading to a     kernel panic when receiving duplicate ASCONF chunks. A     remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system.

  - CVE-2014-3688     It was found that the sctp stack is prone to a remotely     triggerable memory pressure issue caused by excessive     queueing. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause     denial-of-service conditions on the system.

  - CVE-2014-3690     Andy Lutomirski discovered that incorrect register     handling in KVM may lead to denial of service.

  - CVE-2014-7207     Several Debian developers reported an issue in the IPv6     networking subsystem. A local user with access to tun or     macvtap devices, or a virtual machine connected to such     a device, can cause a denial of service (system crash).

This update includes a bug fix related to CVE-2014-7207 that disables UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload) in the macvtap, tun, and virtio_net drivers. This will cause migration of a running VM from a host running an earlier kernel version to a host running this kernel version to fail, if the VM has been assigned a virtio network device. In order to migrate such a VM, it must be shut down first.

The openSUSE 13.1 kernel was updated to fix security issues and bugs :

VE-2014-6410: The __udf_read_inode function in fs/udf/inode.c in the Linux kernel did not restrict the amount of ICB indirection, which allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop or stack consumption) via a UDF filesystem with a crafted inode.

CVE-2014-5206: The do_remount function in fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel did not maintain the MNT_LOCK_READONLY bit across a remount of a bind mount, which allowed local users to bypass an intended read-only restriction and defeat certain sandbox protection mechanisms via a 'mount -o remount' command within a user namespace.

CVE-2014-5207: fs/namespace.c in the Linux kernel did not properly restrict clearing MNT_NODEV, MNT_NOSUID, and MNT_NOEXEC and changing MNT_ATIME_MASK during a remount of a bind mount, which allowed local users to gain privileges, interfere with backups and auditing on systems that had atime enabled, or cause a denial of service (excessive filesystem updating) on systems that had atime disabled via a 'mount -o remount' command within a user namespace.
