kernel-2.6.32-696.13.2.el6

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating
system.

Security Fix(es):

* Kernel memory corruption due to a buffer overflow was found in
brcmf_cfg80211_mgmt_tx() function in Linux kernels from v3.9-rc1 to v4.13-rc1.
The vulnerability can be triggered by sending a crafted NL80211_CMD_FRAME packet
via netlink. This flaw is unlikely to be triggered remotely as certain userspace
code is needed for this. An unprivileged local user could use this flaw to
induce kernel memory corruption on the system, leading to a crash. Due to the
nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although it
is unlikely. (CVE-2017-7541, Moderate)

Bug Fix(es):

* Previously, removal of a rport during ISCSI target scanning could cause a
kernel panic. This was happening because addition of STARGET_REMOVE to the rport
state introduced a race condition to the SCSI code. This update adds the
STARGET_CREATED_REMOVE state as a possible state of the rport and appropriate
handling of that state, thus fixing the bug. As a result, the kernel panic no
longer occurs under the described circumstances. (BZ#1472127)

* Previously, GFS2 contained multiple bugs where the wrong inode was assigned
to GFS2 cluster-wide locks (glocks), or the assigned inode was cleared
incorrectly. Consequently, kernel panic could occur when using GFS2. With this
update, GFS2 has been fixed, and the kernel no longer panics due to those bugs.
(BZ#1479397)

* Previously, VMs with memory larger than 64GB running on Hyper-V with Windows
Server hosts reported potential memory size of 4TB and more, but could not use
more than 64GB. This was happening because the Memory Type Range Register (MTRR)
for memory above 64GB was omitted. With this update, the /proc/mtrr file has
been fixed to show correct base/size if they are more than 44 bit wide. As a
result, the whole size of memory is now available as expected under the
described circumstances. (BZ#1482855)

CVE-2017-7541
The brcmf_cfg80211_mgmt_tx function in
drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c in the
Linux kernel before 4.12.3 allows local users to cause a denial of
service (buffer overflow and system crash) or possibly gain privileges
via a crafted NL80211_CMD_FRAME Netlink packet.
