Systems running RHCK on Oracle Linux 8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

INSTALLING THE UPDATES

We recommend that all users of Ksplice Uptrack running OL 8 and RHEL 8
install these updates.

On systems that have "autoinstall = yes" in /etc/uptrack/uptrack.conf,

take any action.

Alternatively, you can install these updates by running:

# /usr/sbin/uptrack-upgrade -y


DESCRIPTION

* CVE-2020-2732: Privilege escalation in Intel KVM nested emulation.

Incorrect handling of emulated instructions and IO bitmaps could allow
an unprivileged user in a nested KVM guest instance to crash the system
or potentially, escalate privileges.


* CVE-2020-10711: NULL pointer dereference when using CIPSO network packet labeling.

A logic error when receiving CIPSO network packets could lead to a NULL
pointer dereference. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a
denial-of-service.
