A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s SCTP socket functionality that triggers a race condition. This flaw allows a local user to escalate their privileges on the system. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
To mitigate this issue, prevent the module sctp from being loaded (and this is so by default for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8). Please see <https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278> for information on how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
