Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: kernel security update

Notes

Topic
An update for kernel is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 Advanced 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.
Details
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. Security Fix(es): * A race condition flaw was found in the N_HLDC Linux kernel driver when accessing n_hdlc.tbuf list that can lead to double free. A local, unprivileged user able to set the HDLC line discipline on the tty device could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the system. (CVE-2017-2636, Important) Red Hat would like to thank Alexander Popov for reporting this issue.
