QID 240531: Red Hat Update for kernel-rt (RHSA-2022:5224)

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: small table perturb size in the tcp source port generation algorithm can lead to information leak (cve-2022-1012)
  • kernel: race condition in perf_event_open leads to privilege escalation (cve-2022-1729)
  • kernel: a use-after-free write in the netfilter subsystem can lead to privilege escalation to root (cve-2022-1966)
  • kernel: buffer overflow in ipsec esp transformation code (cve-2022-27666)
  • kernel: the copy-on-write implementation can grant unintended write access because of a race condition in a thp mapcount check (cve-2020-29368)

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
