3. Description:

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

Security Fix(es):

* An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor
designs have implemented speculative execution of Load & Store instructions
(a commonly used performance optimization). It relies on the presence of a
precisely-defined instruction sequence in the privileged code as well as
the fact that memory read from address to which a recent memory write has
occurred may see an older value and subsequently cause an update into the
microprocessor's data cache even for speculatively executed instructions
that never actually commit (retire). As a result, an unprivileged attacker
could use this flaw to read privileged memory by conducting targeted cache
side-channel attacks. (CVE-2018-3639, x86 AMD)

* kernel: Use-after-free vulnerability in mm/mempolicy.c:do_get_mempolicy
function allows local denial of service or other unspecified impact
(CVE-2018-10675)

* Kernel: FPU state information leakage via lazy FPU restore
(CVE-2018-3665)

* kernel: error in exception handling leads to DoS (CVE-2018-8897
regression) (CVE-2018-10872)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in
the References section.

Red Hat would like to thank Ken Johnson (Microsoft Security Response
Center) and Jann Horn (Google Project Zero) for reporting CVE-2018-3639 and
Julian Stecklina (Amazon.de), Thomas Prescher (cyberus-technology.de), and
Zdenek Sojka (sysgo.com) for reporting CVE-2018-3665.

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, microcode updates on 32 and 64-bit AMD and Intel
architectures were not synchronized. As a consequence, it was not possible
to apply the microcode updates. This fix adds the synchronization to the
microcode updates so that processors of the stated architectures receive
updates at the same time. As a result, microcode updates are now
synchronized. (BZ#1574592)

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.
