  "details" : [ "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\nlandlock: Don't lose track of restrictions on cred_transfer\nWhen a process' cred struct is replaced, this _almost_ always invokes\nthe cred_prepare LSM hook; but in one special case (when\nKEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT updates the parent's credentials), the\ncred_transfer LSM hook is used instead.  Landlock only implements the\ncred_prepare hook, not cred_transfer, so KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT causes\nall information on Landlock restrictions to be lost.\nThis basically means that a process with the ability to use the fork()\nand keyctl() syscalls can get rid of all Landlock restrictions on\nitself.\nFix it by adding a cred_transfer hook that does the same thing as the\nexisting cred_prepare hook. (Implemented by having hook_cred_prepare()\ncall hook_cred_transfer() so that the two functions are less likely to\naccidentally diverge in the future.)", "A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's `axi_chan_handle_err` function, which caused a kernel panic due to NULL pointer dereferencing. This issue has been fixed. The update protects the `vd` variable to prevent such crashes. The `axi_chan_block_xfer_complete` function was used as a reference for this improvement, enhancing system stability during exceptional cases." ],
  "statement" : "Red Hat Enterprise Linux is not impacted by this CVE, as the vulnerability in question does not affect the specific versions or configurations of the Linux kernel used in its distributions. This ensures that users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux are not exposed to the potential risks associated with this issue, and no further action or mitigation is necessary for systems running this operating system.",
