- CVEs with nessus.description==Security Fix(es) :
- A race condition was found in the Linux kernel, present since v3.14-rc1 through v4.12. The race happens between threads of inotify_handle_event() and vfs_rename() while running the rename operation against the same file. As a result of the race the next slab data or the slab's free list pointer can be corrupted with attacker-controlled data. (CVE-2017-7533, Important)
Bug Fix(es) :
- Previously, direct I/O read operations going past EOF returned an invalid error number, instead of reading 0 bytes and returning success, if these operations were in same XFS block with EOF. Consequently, creating multiple VMs from a Scientific Linux 7.4 template caused all the VMs to become unresponsive in the 'Image Locked' state.
This update fixes the direct I/O feature of the file system, and VMs created from a Scientific Linux 7.4 template now work as expected.
- This kernel is signed with the new Secure Boot key.
