Title:RHSA-2019:0833: kernel-rt security and bug fix update (Important)
Description:The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements.

Security Fix(es):

  • Kernel: KVM: potential use-after-free via kvm_ioctl_create_device() (CVE-2019-6974)

  • Kernel: KVM: nVMX: use-after-free of the hrtimer for emulation of the preemption timer (CVE-2019-7221)

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

    Bug Fix(es):

  • VM hangs on RHEL rt-kernel and OSP 13 [rhel-7.6.z] (BZ#1688673)

  • kernel-rt: update to the RHEL7.6.z batch#4 source tree (BZ#1689417)

    Users of kernel are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
