Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 update for kernel

1) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU22595

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17666

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the P2P (Wifi-Direct) functionality in rtl_p2p_noa_ie() function in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c in Linux kernel when processing Notice and Absence frames. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data via the wireless network, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

2) Resource management error

EUVDB-ID: #VU26406

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-19338

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to incomplete fix for Transaction Asynchronous Abort (TAA) issue on certain Intel CPUs (CVE-2019-11135). A local user on a guest operating system can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to sensitive information.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

3) Resource management error

EUVDB-ID: #VU22704

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.1 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-11135

CWE-ID: CWE-399 - Resource Management Errors

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA) in Intel CPUs. The TAA condition, on some microprocessors utilizing speculative execution, may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable information disclosure via a side channel.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
