Doc Text:
The tcp_v6_syn_recv_sock function in net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c in the Linux kernel, through 4.14.11, allows attackers to cause a denial of service (slab out-of-bounds write) or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors involving in-kernel TLS implementation. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is unlikely.

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, Red Hat Enterprise MRG 2, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for ARM 64 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for Power 9 LE. The code of in-kernel TLS implementation with the flaw is not enabled and is not built in the products listed.
