The cumulative Virtuozzo ReadyKernel patch was updated with security and stability fixes. The patch applies to the kernels 3.10.0-862.9.1.vz7.63.3 (Virtuozzo 7.0.8), 3.10.0-862.11.6.vz7.64.7 (Virtuozzo 7.0.8 HF1), 3.10.0-862.20.2.vz7.73.24 (Virtuozzo 7.0.9 and Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform 2.5), 3.10.0-862.20.2.vz7.73.29 (Virtuozzo 7.0.9 and Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform 2.5), 3.10.0-957.10.1.vz7.85.17 (Virtuozzo 7.0.10), 3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.86.2 (Virtuozzo 7.0.10 HF1), 3.10.0-957.12.2.vz7.96.21 (Virtuozzo 7.0.11 and Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform 3.0), 3.10.0-1062.4.2.vz7.116.7 (Virtuozzo 7.0.12 HF1 and Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform 3.5).
Vulnerability id: CVE-2018-20976
[3.10.0-862.9.1.vz7.63.3 to 3.10.0-862.20.2.vz7.73.29] Use-after-free in fs/xfs/xfs_super.c. A flaw was found in the implementation of XFS filesystem where a key data structure (sb->s_fs_info) may not be de-allocated properly when the system is under memory pressure. This could allow a local attacker to create a use-after-free situation which can result in memory corruption or, potentially, privilege escalation.

Vulnerability id: PSBM-94695
[3.10.0-862.9.1.vz7.63.3 to 3.10.0-1062.4.2.vz7.116.7] Kernel crash due to out-of-bounds memory accesses in process_vm_readv(). It was discovered that the implementation of process_vm_readv() system call could try to access memory outside of the structures it was processing in certain cases. A local unprivileged user could use this vulnerability to crash the system.
