=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for kernel-rt is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4
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.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Real Time EUS (v.8.4) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Real Time for NFV EUS (v.8.4) - x86_64

3. Description:

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: Small table perturb size in the TCP source port generation
algorithm can lead to information leak (CVE-2022-1012)

* kernel: race condition in perf_event_open leads to privilege escalation
(CVE-2022-1729)

* kernel: a use-after-free write in the netfilter subsystem can lead to
privilege escalation to root (CVE-2022-32250)

* kernel: cgroup: Use open-time creds and namespace for migration perm
checks (CVE-2021-4197)

* kernel: Race condition in races in sk_peer_pid and sk_peer_cred accesses
(CVE-2021-4203)

* kernel: the copy-on-write implementation can grant unintended write
access because of a race condition in a THP mapcount check (CVE-2020-29368)

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 RHEL-8.4.z10 source tree
(BZ#2087922)

4. Solution:
