Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-1565-01 - The kernel-rt packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel's netfilter connection tracking implementation loaded extensions. An attacker on a local network could potentially send a sequence of specially crafted packets that would initiate the loading of a large number of extensions, causing the targeted system in that network to crash. A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel's early load microcode functionality. On a system with UEFI Secure Boot enabled, a local, privileged user could use this flaw to increase their privileges to the kernel level, bypassing intended restrictions in place.

A local guest user could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (host crash). A stack overflow was discovered in the the microcode loader for the intel x86 platform. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) or to potentially execute code with kernel privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.

A local attacker could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (kernel crash) or to potentially execute code with kernel privileges. It was discovered that the Linux kernel's IPv6 networking stack has a flaw that allows using route advertisement (RA) messages to set the 'hop_limit' to values that are too low. An unprivileged attacker on a local network could exploit this flaw to cause a denial of service (IPv6 messages dropped). Various other issues were also addressed.
