CVE-2018-16885

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel that allows the userspace to call
memcpy_fromiovecend() and similar functions with a zero offset and buffer
length which causes the read beyond the buffer boundaries, in certain cases
causing a memory access fault and a system halt by accessing invalid memory
address. This issue only affects kernel version 3.10.x as shipped with Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 7.
