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):

  • Incomplete cleanup of multi-core shared buffers (aka SBDR) (CVE-2022-21123)

  • Incomplete cleanup of microarchitectural fill buffers (aka SBDS) (CVE-2022-21125)

  • Incomplete cleanup in specific special register write operations (aka DRPW) (CVE-2022-21166)

    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):

  • The kernel-rt crashes where one task is indefinitely looping in __start_cfs_bandwidth() with the cfs_b->lock spinlock being held (BZ#2079976)

  • update to the latest RHEL7.9.z16 source tree (BZ#2100182)
