QID 240125: Red Hat Update for kernel-rt (RHSA-2022:0821)

the kernel-rt packages provide the real time linux kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.

Security Fix(es):
  • kernel: improper initialization of the "flags" member of the new pipe_buffer (cve-2022-0847)
  • kernel: fget: check that the fd still exists after getting a ref to it (cve-2021-4083)
  • kernel: possible privileges escalation due to missing tlb flush (cve-2022-0330)
  • kernel: cgroups v1 release_agent feature may allow privilege escalation (cve-2022-0492)
  • kernel: failing usercopy allows for use-after-free exploitation (cve-2022-22942)

Affected Products:

  • Red Hat enterprise linux for real time - telecommunications update service 8.2 x86_64
  • Red Hat enterprise linux for real time for nfv - telecommunications update service 8.2 x86_64
