====================================================================                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Important: kernel security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2016:1100-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016:1100.html
Issue date:        2016-05-24
CVE Names:         CVE-2015-5364 CVE-2015-5366 
====================================================================
1. Summary:

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6
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 HPC Node EUS (v. 6.6) - noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node Optional EUS (v. 6.6) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 6.6) - i386, noarch, ppc64, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional EUS (v. 6.6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64

3. Description:

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

Security Fix(es):

* Two flaws were found in the way the Linux kernel's networking
implementation handled UDP packets with incorrect checksum values. A remote
attacker could potentially use these flaws to trigger an infinite loop in
the kernel, resulting in a denial of service on the system, or cause a
denial of service in applications using the edge triggered epoll
functionality. (CVE-2015-5364, CVE-2015-5366, Important)

Bug Fix(es):

* In anon_vma data structure, the degree counts number of child anon_vmas
and of VMAs that point to this anon_vma. In the unlink_anon_vma() function,
when its list is empty, anon_vma is going to be freed whether the external
refcount is zero or not, so the parent's degree should be decremented.
However, failure to decrement the degree triggered a BUG_ON() signal in
unlink_anon_vma(). The provided patch fixes this bug, and the degree is now
decremented as expected. (BZ#1326027)

Enhancement(s):

* The ixgbe NIC driver has been upgraded to upstream version 4.2.1, which
provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.
Notably:

NULL pointer crashes related to VLAN support have been fixed

Two more devices from the Intel X550 Ethernet controller family are now
supported: IDs 15AC and 15AD

Several PHY-related problems have been addressed: link disruptions and link
flapping

Added PHY-related support for Intel X550

System performance has been improved

(BZ#1315702)

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1239029 - CVE-2015-5366 CVE-2015-5364 kernel: net: incorrect processing of checksums in UDP implementation
