This Red Hat Security Advisory addresses multiple security vulnerabilities, bug fixes, and enhancements in the Linux kernel packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 and related products. The update includes fixes for a range of issues such as use-after-free, out-of-bounds reads, heap overflows, race conditions, and permission validation errors across various kernel subsystems including seccomp, netfilter, bonding, NFS, SMB, crypto, and input drivers. The advisory emphasizes the importance of applying these kernel updates and rebooting systems to ensure protection. Red Hat rates the security impact as Important and recommends treating all kernel errata as security-relevant due to the kernel's critical role in system security.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: locking/rt: Fix the incorrect RCU protection in rt_spin_unlock() rt_spin_unlock() releases the RCU protection before unlocking the lock. That opens the door for the following UAF scenario: T1 T2 spin_lock(&p->lock); rcu_read_lock(); invalidate(p); p = rcu_dereference(ptr); rcu_assign_pointer(ptr, NULL); if (!p) return; spin_unlock(&p->lock); spin_lock(&p->lock) lock(&lock->lock); rcu_read_lock(); kfree_rcu(p); rcu_read_unlock(); .... spin_unlock(&p->lock) rcu_read_unlock(); // Ends grace period rcu_do_batch() kfree(p); UAF -> rt_mutex_cmpxchg_release(&lock->lock...) Regular spinlocks keep preemption disabled accross the unlock operation, which provides full RCU protection, but the RT substitution fails to resemble that. Same applies for the rwlock substitution. Move the rcu_read_unlock() invocation past the unlock operations to match the non-RT semantics. This makes it asymmetric vs. rt_xxx_lock(), but that's harmless as the caller needs to hold RCU read lock across the lock operation. The migrate_enable() call stays before the unlock operation because there is no per CPU operation in the unlock path which would require migration to be kept disabled.
