RHBA-2019:0376 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
kernel bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed 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 6.5 Advanced Update Support.
Description
The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system.
Bug Fix:
- Previously backported upstream patch caused a change in the behavior of page fault handler. As a consequence, applications compiled through GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) version 4.4.7 sometimes generated stack access exceeding the 64K limit. Running such applications subsequently triggered a segmentation fault. With this update, the 64k limit check in the page fault handler has been removed. As a result, running the affected applications no longer triggers the segmentation fault in the described scenario.
Note that removing the limit check does not impact the integrity of the kernel itself. (BZ#1668786)
Users of kernel are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
Solution
