Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix: * kernel: metadata validator in XFS may cause an inode with a valid, user-creatable extended attribute to be flagged as corrupt * kernel: The flow_dissector feature allows device tracking * kernel: Buffer over-read in crypto_authenc_extractkeys when a payload longer than 4 bytes is not aligned. * kernel: buffer uses out of index in ext3/4 filesystem * kernel: umask not applied on filesystem without ACL support * kernel: TOCTOU mismatch in the NFS client code * kernel: improper input validation in ppp_cp_parse_cr function leads to memory corruption and read overflow For more details about the security issue, including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page listed in the References section. Bug Fix: * WARNING in set_restore_sigmask at ./arch/x86/include/asm/thread_info.h:298 sigsuspend+0x6d/0x70 * [i40e] VFs see other VF"s outgoing traffic * [Hyper-V][RHEL7] Two fixes for kdump over network * Loop in __run_timers because base-timer_jiffies is very far behind causes a lockup condition. * XFS transaction overrun when running docker on VMWARE * RHEL 7.9 NVMe/IB - Host crash encountered during array upgrade * False positive hard lockup detected while disabling the hard lockup detector via sysctl -w kernel.watchdog=0 * [Hyper-V][RHEL-7] Only notify Hyper-V for die events that are oops * Linux kernel crash due to openvswitch module * "nodfs" option not working when using SMB2+ * RHEL7.7 zstream - ESS - kernel panic triggered by freelist pointer corruption * destroy_cfs_bandwidth is called by free_fair_sched_group without calling init_cfs_bandwidth * NULL pointer at nvme_rdma_setup_ctrl+0x1c2/0x8d0 [nvme_rdma] when discover E5700 * IB Infiniband RDMA mlx5_ib is freeing a kmalloc-512 cache that it does not own causing memory corruption. * [Azure][RHEL7] Two Patches Needed To Enable Azure Host Time-syncing in VMs * connect AF_UNSPEC on a connecting AF_INET6 socket returns an error * Rebuilding the grub with the CPU flag "avx" disabled triggers kernel panic in xor_avx_2 * nf_conntrack_sctp.h is not usable due to a missing commit * Starting pvmove on top of physical volumes on MD devices causes IO error on ongoing IO
