Fixed In Version: kernel 4.14.8
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The HMAC implementation (crypto/hmac.c) in the Linux kernel, before 4.14.8, does not validate that the underlying cryptographic hash algorithm is unkeyed. This allows a local attacker, able to use the AF_ALG-based hash interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH) and the SHA-3 hash algorithm (CONFIG_CRYPTO_SHA3), to cause a kernel stack buffer overflow by executing a crafted sequence of system calls that encounter a missing SHA-3 initialization.

Comment 8 Eric Christensen 2018-02-13 12:01:06 EST 
Statement:

This issue does not affect the Linux kernel packages as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6, and 7, its real-time kernel and Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2.

This issue affects the versions of the Linux kernel as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for ARM 64 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for Power 9 LE. Future Linux kernel updates for the respective releases may address this issue.
Comment 9 errata-xmlrpc 2018-10-30 04:56:49 EDT 
This issue has been addressed in the following products:

  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7
