RHSA-2020:1016 - Moderate: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Synopsis

Moderate: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory Moderate

Topic

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 Moderate. 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.

Description

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

Security Fix(es):

  • kernel: out of bound read in DVB connexant driver. (CVE-2015-9289)

  • kernel: Missing permissions check for request_key() destination allows local attackers to add keys to keyring without Write permission (CVE-2017-17807)

  • kernel: denial of service via ioctl call in network tun handling (CVE-2018-7191)

  • kernel: usb: missing size check in the __usb_get_extra_descriptor() leading to DoS (CVE-2018-20169)

  • kernel: perf_event_open() and execve() race in setuid programs allows a data leak (CVE-2019-3901)

  • kernel: brcmfmac frame validation bypass (CVE-2019-9503)

  • kernel: null-pointer dereference in hci_uart_set_flow_control (CVE-2019-10207)

  • kernel: sensitive information disclosure from kernel stack memory via HIDPCONNADD command (CVE-2019-11884)

  • kernel: unchecked kstrdup of fwstr in drm_load_edid_firmware leads to denial of service (CVE-2019-12382)

  • kernel: use-after-free in arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c (CVE-2019-13233)

  • kernel: denial of service in arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c and arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_64.c via sigreturn() system call (CVE-2019-13648)

  • kernel: integer overflow and OOB read in drivers/block/floppy.c (CVE-2019-14283)

  • kernel: memory leak in register_queue_kobjects() in net/core/net-sysfs.c leads to denial of service (CVE-2019-15916)

  • kernel: buffer-overflow hardening in WiFi beacon validation code. (CVE-2019-16746)

  • kernel: (powerpc) incomplete Spectre-RSB mitigation leads to information exposure (CVE-2019-18660)

  • kernel: oob memory read in hso_probe in drivers/net/usb/hso.c (CVE-2018-19985)

  • Kernel: net: weak IP ID generation leads to remote device tracking (CVE-2019-10638)

  • Kernel: net: using kernel space address bits to derive IP ID may potentially break KASLR (CVE-2019-10639)

  • kernel: ASLR bypass for setuid binaries due to late install_exec_creds() (CVE-2019-11190)
