Changes[edit]

Since 042stab117.16:

  • Rebase to RHEL6u8 kernel 2.6.32-642.6.1.el6 (security, bug fixes, and enhancements)
  • Use-after-free in the recvmmsg exit path (CVE-2016-7117)
  • Uninitialized variable in request_key handling causes kernel crash in error handling path (CVE-2016-4470)
  • infiniband: Unprivileged process can overwrite kernel memory using rdma_ucm.ko. A local unprivileged user on a system with either Infiniband hardware present or RDMA Userspace Connection Manager Access module explicitly loaded, could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system. (CVE-2016-4565)
  • Heap buffer overflow in hiddev driver. This flaw could allow a local attacker to corrupt kernel memory, possibly escalating their privileges or crashing the system. (CVE-2016-5829)
  • Under certain conditions, free or top run inside a container could show that zero memory was used. (PSBM-42024)
  • FUSE improvements. (PSBM-49057, PSBM-49825)
  • cpt: Containers with deleted sockets on tmpfs file system could not be resumed after suspend. (PSBM-49584)
  • Ploop improvements. (PSBM-47696, PSBM-49747)
  • ext4: Parallel mounting of multiple disks with lazy initialization takes too long. (PSBM-49847)
  • Added per-container limit on the number of available network namespaces. (PSBM-53183)
  • drbd: Out of memory error when invoking fence-peer handler. (OVZ-6777)
