Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-3315-01 - The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. These updated kernel packages include several security issues and numerous bug fixes, some of which you can see below. Space precludes documenting all of these bug fixes in this advisory.
2028823382216b9493c0bf056280c297c2bd677f271814aa58d6cf9f13e8cca5Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-3295-01 - The kernel-rt packages provide the Real Time Linux Kernel, which enables fine-tuning for systems with extremely high determinism requirements. Security Fix: It was found that the timer functionality in the Linux kernel ALSA subsystem is prone to a race condition between read and ioctl system call handlers, resulting in an uninitialized memory disclosure to user space. A local user could use this flaw to read information belonging to other users.
