Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-0087-01 – The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux operating system. A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s SCTP implementation validated INIT chunks when performing Address Configuration Change. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash the system by sending a specially crafted SCTP packet to trigger a NULL pointer dereference on the system. An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel’s Advanced Linux Sound Architecture implementation handled user controls. A local, privileged user could use this flaw to crash the system.
