Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-2473-01
Posted Aug 15, 2017
Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-2473-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix: A race condition was found in the Linux kernel, present since v3.14-rc1 through v4.12. The race happens between threads of inotify_handle_event() and vfs_rename() while running the rename operation against the same file. As a result of the race the next slab data or the slab's free list pointer can be corrupted with attacker-controlled data.

3. Description:

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.

Security Fix(es):

* A race condition was found in the Linux kernel, present since v3.14-rc1
through v4.12. The race happens between threads of inotify_handle_event()
and vfs_rename() while running the rename operation against the same file.
As a result of the race the next slab data or the slab's free list pointer
can be corrupted with attacker-controlled data. (CVE-2017-7533, Important)

Red Hat would like to thank Leilei Lin (Alibaba Group), Fan Wu (The
University of Hong Kong), and Shixiong Zhao (The University of Hong Kong)
for reporting this issue.

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, direct I/O read operations going past EOF returned an invalid
error number, instead of reading 0 bytes and returning success, if these
operations were in same XFS block with EOF. Consequently, creating multiple
VMs from a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 template caused all the VMs to
become unresponsive in the 'Image Locked' state. This update fixes the
direct I/O feature of the file system, and VMs created from a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 7.4 template now work as expected. (BZ#1475669)

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1468283 - CVE-2017-7533 kernel: a race between inotify_handle_event() and sys_rename()
