Description

The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Security Fix(es): * kernel: race condition in net/can/bcm.c leads to local privilege escalation (CVE-2021-3609) * kernel: Improper handling of VM_IO|VM_PFNMAP vmas in KVM can bypass RO checks (CVE-2021-22543) * kernel: out-of-bounds write in xt_compat_target_from_user() in net/netfilter/x_tables.c (CVE-2021-22555) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section. Bug Fix(es): * kernel-rt: update RT source tree to the RHEL-8.4.z source tree (BZ#1985050) * kernel-rt: Merge mm/memcg: Fix kmem_cache_alloc() performance regression (BZ#1987102)
