Synopsis: Important: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2016:2695-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-2695.html
Issue date: 2016-11-09
CVE Names: CVE-2016-3841
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2
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. 7.2) – noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional EUS (v. 7.2) – x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 7.2) – noarch, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional EUS (v. 7.2) – ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64
3. Description:
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)
