| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'kernel-rt' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0077 advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
This kernel-rt update provides as upgrade to upstream 3.14 longterm branch,
currently based on 3.14.32 and fixes the following security issues:
The microcode on AMD 16h 00h through 0Fh processors does not properly handle
the interaction between locked instructions and write-combined memory types,
which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system hang) via a
crafted application, aka the errata 793 issue (CVE-2013-6885)
Array index error in the aio_read_events_ring function in fs/aio.c in
the Linux kernel through 3.15.1 allows local users to obtain sensitive
information from kernel memory via a large head value (CVE-2014-0206).
media-device: fix infoleak in ioctl media_enum_entities()
(CVE-2014-1739)
The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the Linux kernel through
3.14.5 does not ensure that calls have two different futex addresses,
which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted FUTEX_REQUEUE
command that facilitates unsafe waiter modification. (CVE-2014-3153)
The kvm_iommu_map_pages function in virt/kvm/iommu.c in the Linux kernel
through 3.16.1 miscalculates the number of pages during the handling of
a mapping failure, which allows guest OS users to (1) cause a denial of
service (host OS memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other
impact by triggering a large gfn value or (2) cause a denial of service
(host OS memory consumption) by triggering a small gfn value that leads
to permanently pinned pages (CVE-2014-3601).
The WRMSR processing functionality in the KVM subsystem in the Linux
kernel through 3.17.2 does not properly handle the writing of a non-
canonical address to a model-specific register, which allows guest OS
users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash) by leveraging guest
OS privileges, related to the wrmsr_interception function in
arch/x86/kvm/svm.c and the handle_wrmsr function in arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c
(CVE-2014-3610).
Race condition in the __kvm_migrate_pit_timer function in
arch/x86/kvm/i8254.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through
3.17.2 allows guest OS users to cause a denial of service (host OS crash)
by leveraging incorrect PIT emulation (CVE-2014-3611).
arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.17.2
does not have an exit handler for the INVVPID instruction, which allows
guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted
application (CVE-2014-3646).
arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel through
3.17.2 does not properly perform RIP changes, which allows guest OS users
to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via a crafted application
(CVE-2014-3647).
kernel/auditsc.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.5, when
CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is enabled with certain syscall rules, allows local
users to obtain potentially sensitive single-bit values from kernel memory
or cause a denial of service (OOPS) via a large value of ... [Please see the references for more information on the vulnerabilities]
