An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 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.

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

Security Fix(es) :

  • A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s networking subsystem handled offloaded packets with multiple layers of encapsulation in the GRO (Generic Receive Offload) code path. A remote attacker could use this flaw to trigger unbounded recursion in the kernel that could lead to stack corruption, resulting in a system crash. (CVE-2016-8666, Important)

Bug Fix(es) :

  • When a virtual machine (VM) with PCI-Passthrough interfaces was recreated, the operating system rebooted. This update fixes the race condition between the eventfd daemon and the virqfd daemon. As a result, the operating system no longer reboots in the described situation. (BZ#1391609)
