Issue Overview:

The perf_swevent_init function in kernel/events/core.c in the Linux kernel before 3.8.9 uses an incorrect integer data type, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted perf_event_open system call.

Affected Packages:

kernel

Issue Correction:
Run yum update kernel to update your system. You will need to reboot your system in order for the new kernel to be running.
