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

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6
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 ComputeNode EUS (v. 7.6) - noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional EUS (v. 7.6) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 7.6) - noarch, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional EUS (v. 7.6) - ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64

3. Description:

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

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: double free may be caused by the function allocate_trace_buffer
in the file kernel/trace/trace.c (CVE-2017-18595)

* kernel: Heap overflow in mwifiex_update_bss_desc_with_ie function in
marvell/mwifiex/scan.c (CVE-2019-3846)

* kernel: Heap overflow in mwifiex_uap_parse_tail_ies function in
drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/ie.c (CVE-2019-10126)

* kernel: use-after-free in __blk_add_trace in kernel/trace/blktrace.c
(CVE-2019-19768)

* Kernel: NetLabel: null pointer dereference while receiving CIPSO packet
with null category may cause kernel panic (CVE-2020-10711)

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

Bug Fix(es):

* Observed a memory leak while using dm-multipath (BZ#1812935)

* Backport: Guest microcode version mismatch on secondary processors(BZ#1814001)

* dm-multipath high load backport incorrect (BZ#1814533)

* ixgbe reports "Detected Tx Unit Hang" with adapter reset on RHEL 7
(BZ#1816990)

* RHEL7: block mq hang of a blk_mq_freeze_queue_wait(),  which waits for a
zero of a q_usage_counter, which never happens (BZ#1824543)

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.
