Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0803-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. It was found that the Linux kernel's Infiniband subsystem did not properly sanitize input parameters while registering memory regions from user space via the verbs API. A local user with access to a /dev/infiniband/uverbsX device could use this flaw to crash the system or, potentially, escalate their privileges on the system. An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's Frame Buffer device implementation mapped kernel memory to user space via the mmap syscall. A local user able to access a frame buffer device file could possibly use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system.

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation validated INIT chunks when performing Address Configuration Change. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system by sending a specially crafted SCTP packet to trigger a NULL pointer dereference on the system.

A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation validated INIT chunks when performing Address Configuration Change. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system by sending a specially crafted SCTP packet to trigger a NULL pointer dereference on the system. A race condition flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's mmap, madvise, and fallocate system calls interacted with each other while operating on virtual memory file system files. A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service.

A local, unprivileged user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation handled malformed or duplicate Address Configuration Change Chunks. A remote attacker could use either of these flaws to crash the system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's SCTP implementation handled the association's output queue. A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets that would cause the system to use an excessive amount of memory, leading to a denial of service.

18d0010448f4aacc19c217e3371db5d34c01d05bb3fb2bb9179b1b838891d685Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1318-01 - Red Hat Enterprise MRG is a next-generation IT infrastructure for enterprise computing. MRG offers increased performance, reliability, interoperability, and faster computing for enterprise customers. MRG Realtime provides the highest levels of predictability for consistent low-latency response times to meet the needs of time-sensitive workloads. MRG Realtime also provides new levels of determinism by optimizing lengthy kernel code paths to ensure that they do not become bottlenecks. This allows for better prioritization of applications, resulting in consistent, predictable response times for high-priority applications.
