RHSA-2024:0439 — Security Advisory

An update for kernel-rt is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 Extended Update Support.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

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: bpf: Incorrect verifier pruning leads to unsafe code paths being incorrectly marked as safe (CVE-2023-2163)

• kernel: use after free in unix_stream_sendpage (CVE-2023-4622)

• kernel: net/sched: sch_hfsc UAF (CVE-2023-4623)
