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: tcindex: use-after-free vulnerability in traffic control index filter allows privilege escalation (CVE-2023-1281)

  • kernel: netfilter: use-after-free in nf_tables when processing batch requests can lead to privilege escalation (CVE-2023-32233)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

  • kernel-rt: update RT source tree to the latest RHEL-8.4z18 Batch (BZ#2209986)
