"Updated kernel-rt packages that fix three security issues, several
bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise MRG 2.5.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate
security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each
vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.

  * A denial of service flaw was found in the way the Linux
    kernel's XFS file system implementation ordered
    directory hashes under certain conditions. A local
    attacker could use this flaw to corrupt the file system
    by creating directories with colliding hash values,
    potentially resulting in a system crash. (CVE-2014-7283,
    Moderate)

  * An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the
    syscall tracing functionality of the Linux kernel's perf
    subsystem. A local, unprivileged user could use this
    flaw to crash the system. (CVE-2014-7825, Moderate)

  * An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the
    syscall tracing functionality of the Linux kernel's
    ftrace subsystem. On a system with ftrace syscall
    tracing enabled, a local, unprivileged user could use
    this flaw to crash the system, or escalate their
    privileges. (CVE-2014-7826, Moderate)

The kernel-rt packages have been upgraded to upstream version 3.10.58,
which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the
previous version. (BZ#1158105)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  * Automatic NUMA balancing on a low priority thread could
    cause memory contention with a high priority thread
    running in the same process. This contention could
    trigger poor real time performance on the system. In
    order to avoid this potential memory contention, the MRG
    Realtime kernel now disables
    NUMA_BALANCING_DEFAULT_ENABLED. (BZ#1158940)

  * When tracing a bug, WARN*() functions could flood the
    ring buffer making the trace useless or even overflowing
    the ring buffer. To address this issue, a
    traceoff_on_warning option was added to the kernel
    command line and as a sysctl option. This option
    disables the writing of the warning messages to the ring
    buffer, which results in a cleaner trace for debugging.
    (BZ#1155200)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement :

  * Support for XHCI (USB 3) is now enabled in the MRG
    Realtime kernel. (BZ#1134095)

All kernel-rt users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain correct these issues and add these enhancements. The
system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.");
