CVE-2018-1094 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:7 kernel to version 0:3.10.0-957.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2018:3083.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel package and not the kernel package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The ext4_fill_super function in fs/ext4/super.c in the Linux kernel through 4.15.15 does not always initialize the crc32c checksum driver, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (ext4_xattr_inode_hash NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via a crafted ext4 image.
