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.

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

Security Fix(es) :

* It was found that the Linux kernel's IPv6 implementation mishandled socket options. A local attacker could abuse concurrent access to the socket options to escalate their privileges, or cause a denial of service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system call. (CVE-2016-3841, Important)

* Several Moderate and Low impact security issues were found in the Linux kernel. Space precludes documenting each of these issues in this advisory. Refer to the CVE links in the References section for a description of each of these vulnerabilities. (CVE-2013-4312, CVE-2015-8374, CVE-2015-8543, CVE-2015-8812, CVE-2015-8844, CVE-2015-8845, CVE-2016-2053, CVE-2016-2069, CVE-2016-2847, CVE-2016-3156, CVE-2016-4581, CVE-2016-4794, CVE-2016-5412, CVE-2016-5828, CVE-2016-5829, CVE-2016-6136, CVE-2016-6198, CVE-2016-6327, CVE-2016-6480, CVE-2015-8746, CVE-2015-8956, CVE-2016-2117, CVE-2016-2384, CVE-2016-3070, CVE-2016-3699, CVE-2016-4569, CVE-2016-4578)

Red Hat would like to thank Philip Pettersson (Samsung) for reporting CVE-2016-2053; Tetsuo Handa for reporting CVE-2016-2847; the Virtuozzo kernel team and Solar Designer (Openwall) for reporting CVE-2016-3156;
Justin Yackoski (Cryptonite) for reporting CVE-2016-2117; and Linn Crosetto (HP) for reporting CVE-2016-3699. The CVE-2015-8812 issue was discovered by Venkatesh Pottem (Red Hat Engineering); the CVE-2015-8844 and CVE-2015-8845 issues were discovered by Miroslav Vadkerti (Red Hat Engineering); the CVE-2016-4581 issue was discovered by Eric W. Biederman (Red Hat); the CVE-2016-6198 issue was discovered by CAI Qian (Red Hat); and the CVE-2016-3070 issue was discovered by Jan Stancek (Red Hat).

According to the versions of the parallels-server-bm-release / vzkernel / etc packages installed, the Virtuozzo installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's handling of     packets with the URG flag. Applications using the     splice() and tcp_splice_read() functionality can allow     a remote attacker to force the kernel to enter a     condition in which it can loop indefinitely.

  - It was discovered that a remote attacker could leverage     the generation of IPv6 atomic fragments to trigger the     use of fragmentation in an arbitrary IPv6 flow (in     scenarios in which actual fragmentation of packets is     not needed) and could subsequently perform any type of     a fragmentation-based attack against legacy IPv6 nodes     that do not implement RFC6946.

  - It was found that the blk_rq_map_user_iov() function in     the Linux kernel's block device implementation did not     properly restrict the type of iterator, which could     allow a local attacker to read or write to arbitrary     kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service     (use-after-free) by leveraging write access to a     /dev/sg device.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation     of the SCTP protocol. A remote attacker could trigger     an out-of-bounds read with an offset of up to 64kB     potentially causing the system to crash.

  - A flaw was found in the Linux networking subsystem     where a local attacker with CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities     could cause an out-of-bounds memory access by creating     a smaller-than-expected ICMP header and sending to its     destination via sendto().

  - It was found that when file permissions were modified     via chmod and the user modifying them was not in the     owning group or capable of CAP_FSETID, the setgid bit     would be cleared. Setting a POSIX ACL via setxattr sets     the file permissions as well as the new ACL, but     doesn't clear the setgid bit in a similar way. This     could allow a local user to gain group privileges via     certain setgid applications.

  - It was found that when the gcc stack protector was     enabled, reading the /proc/keys file could cause a     panic in the Linux kernel due to stack corruption. This     happened because an incorrect buffer size was used to     hold a 64-bit timeout value rendered as weeks.

  - A race condition flaw was found in the ioctl_send_fib()     function in the Linux kernel's aacraid implementation.
    A local attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by     changing a certain size value.

  - When creating audit records for parameters to executed     children processes, an attacker can convince the Linux     kernel audit subsystem can create corrupt records which     may allow an attacker to misrepresent or evade logging     of executing commands.

  - A flaw was discovered in the way the Linux kernel dealt     with paging structures. When the kernel invalidated a     paging structure that was not in use locally, it could,     in principle, race against another CPU that is     switching to a process that uses the paging structure     in question. A local user could use a thread running     with a stale cached virtual->physical translation to     potentially escalate their privileges if the     translation in question were writable and the physical     page got reused for something critical (for example, a     page table).

  - A flaw was found in the USB-MIDI Linux kernel driver: a     double-free error could be triggered for the 'umidi'     object. An attacker with physical access to the system     could use this flaw to escalate their privileges.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Virtuozzo security advisory.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
