Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Important: kernel security and enhancement update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:2128-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-2128.html
Issue date: 2016-10-31
CVE Names: CVE-2016-4470 CVE-2016-5195
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6
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 HPC Node EUS (v. 6.6) – noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional EUS (v. 6.6) – x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 6.6) – i386, noarch, ppc64, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional EUS (v. 6.6) – i386, ppc64, 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 Linux kernel’s keyring handling code: the
key_reject_and_link() function could be forced to free an arbitrary memory
block. An attacker could use this flaw to trigger a use-after-free
condition on the system, potentially allowing for privilege escalation.
(CVE-2016-4470, Important)
* A race condition was found in the way the Linux kernel’s memory subsystem
handled the copy-on-write (COW) breakage of private read-only memory
mappings. An unprivileged, local user could use this flaw to gain write
access to otherwise read-only memory mappings and thus increase their
privileges on the system. (CVE-2016-5195, Important)
Red Hat would like to thank Phil Oester for reporting CVE-2016-5195. The
CVE-2016-4470 issue was discovered by David Howells (Red Hat).
Enhancement(s):
* This update fixes a tape write problem by fixing the use of the
sas_is_tlr_enabled API in the mpt3sas driver. The driver now checks whether
Transport Layer Recovery (TLR) is enabled before enabling the
MPI2_SCSIIO_CONTROL_TLR_ON flag. (BZ#1372352)
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/):
1341716 – CVE-2016-4470 kernel: Uninitialized variable in request_key handling causes kernel crash in error handling path
1384344 – CVE-2016-5195 kernel: mm: privilege escalation via MAP_PRIVATE COW breakage
