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

An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.7
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. 7.7) - noarch, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ComputeNode Optional EUS (v. 7.7) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server EUS (v. 7.7) - noarch, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional EUS (v. 7.7) - ppc64, ppc64le, x86_64

3. Description:

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

Security Fix(es):

* Kernel: vfio: access to disabled MMIO space of some devices may lead to
DoS scenario (CVE-2020-12888)

* kernel: denial of service in arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c and
arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_64.c via sigreturn() system call
(CVE-2019-13648)

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):

* kernel: hw: provide reporting and microcode mitigation toggle for
CVE-2020-0543 / Special Register Buffer Data Sampling (SRBDS) (BZ#1840678)

* Deadlock condition grabbing ssb_state lock (BZ#1841120)

* ext4: change LRU to round-robin in extent status tree shrinker
(BZ#1847342)

* Emulex lpfc seems to get hung up failing IOCB'S continuously on kernel
3.10.0-957.21.3.el7.x86_64 leading to Oracle evictions (BZ#1849650)

* After upgrade to 3.9.89 pod containers with CPU limits fail to start due
to cgroup error (BZ#1850499)

Enhancement(s):

* [Marvell 7.8 FEAT] Update bnx2fc driver to latest upstream (BZ#1834817)

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.
