====================================================================
1. Summary:

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 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.

3. Description:

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

Security Fix(es):

* Linux kernel built with the 802.1Q/802.1ad VLAN(CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q) OR
Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network(CONFIG_VXLAN) with Transparent
Ethernet Bridging(TEB) GRO support, is vulnerable to a stack overflow
issue. It could occur while receiving large packets via GRO path as an
unlimited recursion could unfold in both VLAN and TEB modules leading to a
stack corruption in the kernel. (CVE-2016-7039, Important)

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/):

1375944 - CVE-2016-7039 kernel: remotely triggerable unbounded recursion in the vlan gro code leading to a kernel crash
