"An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5
Advanced Update Support.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security
impact of Moderate. 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.

[Updated 10 May 2018]

The references to CVE-2017-5754 x86 (32-bit) mitigation were removed
because Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 Advanced Update Support does not
include support for x86 32-bit architecture. Consequently, impact
rating of this erratum was changed from Important to Moderate.

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

Security Fix(es) :

* Kernel: error in exception handling leads to DoS (CVE-2018-8897)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a
CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s)
listed in the References section.

Red Hat would like to thank Nick Peterson (Everdox Tech LLC) and Andy
Lutomirski for reporting this issue.

Bug Fix(es) :

* The kernel build requirements have been updated to the GNU Compiler
Collection (GCC) compiler version that has the support for Retpolines.
The Retpolines mechanism is a software construct that leverages
specific knowledge of the underlying hardware to mitigate the branch
target injection, also known as Spectre variant 2 vulnerability
described in CVE-2017-5715. (BZ#1554256)"
