Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Important: kernel security and bug fix update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2017:0004-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2017-0004.html
Issue date: 2017-01-03
CVE Names: CVE-2016-8666
=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1
Extended 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 ComputeNode EUS (v. 7.1) – noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional EUS (v. 7.1) – x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 7.1) – noarch, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional EUS (v. 7.1) – ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64

3. Description:

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

Security Fix(es):

* A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s networking subsystem
handled offloaded packets with multiple layers of encapsulation in the GRO
(Generic Receive Offload) code path. A remote attacker could use this flaw
to trigger unbounded recursion in the kernel that could lead to stack
corruption, resulting in a system crash. (CVE-2016-8666, Important)

Bug Fix(es):

* When a virtual machine (VM) with PCI-Passthrough interfaces was
recreated, the operating system rebooted. This update fixes the race
condition between the eventfd daemon and the virqfd daemon. As a result,
the operating system no longer reboots in the described situation.
(BZ#1391609)

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1384991 – CVE-2016-8666 kernel: Remotely triggerable recursion in GRE code leading to kernel crash
