Description Martin Prpič 2017-04-03 06:41:06 EDT
A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel's file system encryption implementation. A local user could revoke keyring keys being used for ext4, f2fs, or ubifs encryption, causing a denial of service on the system.

Comment 1 Justin M. Forbes 2017-04-03 08:23:14 EDT
This is fixed in Fedora with the 4.10.7 and newer stable kernel releases.
Comment 2 Vladis Dronov 2017-04-26 06:24:04 EDT
Statement:

This issue does not affect the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, 7 and MRG-2 as the code where the flaw was found is not present in these products.
