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 perf_event_open leads to privilege escalation (CVE-2022-1729)

  • kernel: a use-after-free write in the netfilter subsystem can lead to privilege escalation to root (CVE-2022-1966)

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 to the latest RHEL7.9.z15 source tree (BZ#2081074)
