CentOS Update for kernel CESA-2018:1965 centos7. Check the version of kernel. An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of Load &amp Store instructions (a commonly used performance optimization). CVE-2018-3639, PowerPC, x86 AMD. Out-of-bounds access via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message (CVE-2017-11600). Please install the updated packages

Security Fix(es):

  * An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor
designs have implemented speculative execution of Load &amp  Store instructions
(a commonly used performance optimization). It relies on the presence of a
precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as
the fact that memory read from address to which a recent memory write has
occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause an update into the
microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions
that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker
could use this flaw to read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache
side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3639, PowerPC, x86 AMD)

  * kernel: Out-of-bounds access via an XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE xfrm Netlink message
(CVE-2017-11600)
