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.

Summary

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
Security Fix(es):
* kernel: Small table perturb size in the TCP source port generation algorithm can lead to information leak (CVE-2022-1012)
* kernel: race condition in perf_event_open leads to privilege escalation (CVE-2022-1729)
* kernel: a use-after-free write in the netfilter subsystem can lead to privilege escalation to root (CVE-2022-32250)
* kernel: cgroup: Use open-time creds and namespace for migration perm checks (CVE-2021-4197)
* kernel: Race condition in races in sk_peer_pid and sk_peer_cred accesses (CVE-2021-4203)
* kernel: the copy-on-write implementation can grant unintended write access because of a race condition in a THP mapcount check (CVE-2020-29368)
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.

* For isolated CPUs (with nohz_full enabled for isolated CPUs) CPU utilization statistics are not getting reflected continuously (BZ#2084139)
* Affinity broken due to vector space exhaustion (BZ#2084647)
* kernel memory leak while freeing nested actions (BZ#2086597)
* sync rhel-8.6 with upstream 5.13 through 5.16 fixes and improvements (BZ#2088037)
