A flaw was found in the kernel. An unprivileged local user can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code within the kernel, which leads to a local privilege escalation (LPE). This allows the attacker to gain root privileges and take full control of the affected system.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
| Vendor | Product | Default status | Versions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Hat | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 | unaffected | — |
| Red Hat | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 | unaffected | — |
| Red Hat | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 | unaffected | — |
| Red Hat | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 | unaffected | — |
| Red Hat | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 | affected | — |
| Red Hat | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 | affected | — |
| Red Hat | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 | unaffected | — |
