RedHat: RHSA-2021-1070:01 Important: kernel-rt security and bug fix update
Summary
The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables
fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.
Security Fix(es):
* kernel: out-of-bounds read in libiscsi module (CVE-2021-27364)
* kernel: heap buffer overflow in the iSCSI subsystem (CVE-2021-27365)
* kernel: iscsi: unrestricted access to sessions and handles
(CVE-2021-27363)
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):
* RHEL7.9 Realtime crashes due to a blocked task detection. The blocked
task is stuck in unregister_shrinker() where multiple tasks have taken the
shrinker_rwsem and are fighting on a dentry's d_lockref lock rt_mutex.
[kernel-rt] (BZ#1935557)
* kernel-rt: update to the latest RHEL7.9.z5 source tree (BZ#1939220)
