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

Synopsis:          Important: kernel security and bug fix update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2018:2785-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:2785
Issue date:        2018-09-25
CVE Names:         CVE-2018-5390 CVE-2018-5391 CVE-2018-10675 
====================================================================
1. Summary:

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3
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 ComputeNode EUS (v. 7.3) - noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional EUS (v. 7.3) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 7.3) - noarch, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional EUS (v. 7.3) - ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64

3. Description:

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

Security Fix(es):

* A flaw named SegmentSmack was found in the way the Linux kernel handled
specially crafted TCP packets. A remote attacker could use this flaw to
trigger time and calculation expensive calls to tcp_collapse_ofo_queue()
and tcp_prune_ofo_queue() functions by sending specially modified packets
within ongoing TCP sessions which could lead to a CPU saturation and hence
a denial of service on the system. Maintaining the denial of service
condition requires continuous two-way TCP sessions to a reachable open
port, thus the attacks cannot be performed using spoofed IP addresses.
(CVE-2018-5390)

* A flaw named FragmentSmack was found in the way the Linux kernel handled
reassembly of fragmented IPv4 and IPv6 packets. A remote attacker could use
this flaw to trigger time and calculation expensive fragment reassembly
algorithm by sending specially crafted packets which could lead to a CPU
saturation and hence a denial of service on the system. (CVE-2018-5391)

* kernel: mm: use-after-free in do_get_mempolicy function allows local DoS
or other unspecified impact (CVE-2018-10675)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in
the References section.

Red Hat would like to thank Juha-Matti Tilli (Aalto University - Department
of Communications and Networking and Nokia Bell Labs) for reporting
CVE-2018-5390 and CVE-2018-5391.

Bug Fix(es):

* On systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 with Red Hat OpenShift
Container Platform 3.5, a node sometimes got into "NodeNotReady" state
after a CPU softlockup. Consequently, the node was not available. This
update fixes an irq latency source in memory compaction. As a result, nodes
no longer get into "NodeNotReady" state under the described circumstances.
(BZ#1596281)

* Previously, the kernel source code was missing support to report the
Speculative Store Bypass Disable (SSBD) vulnerability status on IBM Power
Systems and the little-endian variants of IBM Power Systems. As a
consequence, the /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/spec_store_bypass
file incorrectly reported "Not affected" on both CPU architectures. This
fix updates the kernel source code to properly report the SSBD status
either as "Vulnerable" or "Mitigation: Kernel entry/exit barrier (TYPE)"
where TYPE is one of "eieio", "hwsync", "fallback", or "unknown".
(BZ#1612351)

* The hypervisors of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 virtual machines (VMs) in
certain circumstances mishandled the microcode update in the kernel. As a
consequence, the VMs sometimes became unresponsive when booting. This
update applies an upstream patch to avoid early microcode update when
running under a hypervisor. As a result, kernel hangs no longer occur in
the described scenario. (BZ#1618388)

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/):

1575065 - CVE-2018-10675 kernel: mm: use-after-free in do_get_mempolicy function allows local DoS or other unspecified impact
1601704 - CVE-2018-5390 kernel: TCP segments with random offsets allow a remote denial of service (SegmentSmack)
1609664 - CVE-2018-5391 kernel: IP fragments with random offsets allow a remote denial of service (FragmentSmack)
