The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.
Red Hat would like to thank Ben Serebrin of Google Inc. for reporting the
CVE-2015-5307 issue.
This update also fixes the following bugs:
With an IPv6 address on a bond and a slave failover, Unsolicited Neighbor
Advertisement (UNA) was previously sent using the link global IPv6 address
as source address. The underlying source code has been patched, and, after
the failover in bonding, UNA is sent using both the corresponding link IPv6
address and global IPv6 address of bond0 and bond0.vlan. (BZ#1258479)
Previously, Human Interface Device (HID) would run a report on an
unaligned buffer, which could cause a page fault interrupt and an oops when
the end of the report was read. This update fixes this bug by padding the
end of the report with extra bytes, so the reading of the report never
crosses a page boundary. As a result, a page fault and subsequent oops no
longer occur. (BZ#1268201)
All kernel users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues. The system must be
rebooted for this update to take effect.
