RedHat: RHSA-2022-5939:01 Moderate: 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):
* Incomplete cleanup of multi-core shared buffers (aka SBDR)
(CVE-2022-21123)
* Incomplete cleanup of microarchitectural fill buffers (aka SBDS)
(CVE-2022-21125)
* Incomplete cleanup in specific special register write operations (aka
DRPW) (CVE-2022-21166)
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):
* The kernel-rt crashes where one task is indefinitely looping in
__start_cfs_bandwidth() with the cfs_b->lock spinlock being held
(BZ#2079976)
* update to the latest RHEL7.9.z16 source tree (BZ#2100182)
