1. Summary:
An update for kernel-rt is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0
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 Real Time EUS (v.9.0) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Real Time for NFV EUS (v.9.0) - x86_64
3. Description:
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: KVM: cmpxchg_gpte can write to pfns outside the userspace region
(CVE-2022-1158)
* kernel: openvswitch: integer underflow leads to out-of-bounds write in
reserve_sfa_size() (CVE-2022-2639)
* kernel: watch queue race condition can lead to privilege escalation
(CVE-2022-2959)
* kernel: nfsd buffer overflow by RPC message over TCP with garbage data
(CVE-2022-43945)
* hw: cpu: incomplete clean-up of multi-core shared buffers (aka SBDR)
(CVE-2022-21123)
* hw: cpu: incomplete clean-up of microarchitectural fill buffers (aka
SBDS) (CVE-2022-21125)
* hw: cpu: incomplete clean-up in specific special register write
operations (aka DRPW) (CVE-2022-21166)
* hw: cpu: AMD: RetBleed Arbitrary Speculative Code Execution with Return
Instructions (CVE-2022-23816, CVE-2022-29900)
* hw: cpu: AMD: Branch Type Confusion (non-retbleed) (CVE-2022-23825)
* hw: cpu: Intel: Post-barrier Return Stack Buffer Predictions
(CVE-2022-26373)
* hw: cpu: Intel: RetBleed Arbitrary Speculative Code Execution with Return
Instructions (CVE-2022-29901)
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-rt: update RT source tree to the latest RHEL-9.0.z5 Batch
(BZ#2137580)
* [DELL EMC 9.0-RT BUG] System is not booting into RT Kernel with perc12
[kernel-rt] (BZ#2139864)
4. Solution:
