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) :
* An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern
microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of
instructions (a commonly used performance optimization). There are
three primary variants of the issue which differ in the way the
speculative execution can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5754 relies
on the fact that, on impacted microprocessors, during speculative
execution of instruction permission faults, exception generation
triggered by a faulting access is suppressed until the retirement of
the whole instruction block. In a combination with the fact that
memory accesses may populate the cache even when the block is being
dropped and never committed (executed), an unprivileged local attacker
could use this flaw to read privileged (kernel space) memory by
conducting targeted cache side-channel attacks. (CVE-2017-5754,
Important, KVM for Power)
