Synopsis
kernel bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated kernel packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.4 Advanced Update Support.
Description
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating
system.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, Human Interface Device (HID) ran a report on an unaligned buffer,
which could cause a page fault interrupt and an oops when the end of the report
was read. This update fixes this bug by padding the end of the report with extra
bytes, so the reading of the report never crosses a page boundary. As a result,
a page fault and subsequent oops no longer occur in this situation. (BZ#1268200)
Users of kernel are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug. The system must be rebooted for this update to take effect.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
