Upgrade RHEL:7 kernel-rt to version 0:3.10.0-327.22.2.rt56.230.el7_2 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2016:1301.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kernel-rt package and not the kernel-rt package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The icmp_check_sysrq function in net/ipv4/icmp.c in the kernel.org projects/rt patches for the Linux kernel, as used in the kernel-rt package before 3.10.0-327.22.1 in Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Real Time 7 and other products, allows remote attackers to execute SysRq commands via crafted ICMP Echo Request packets, as demonstrated by a brute-force attack to discover a cookie, or an attack that occurs after reading the local icmp_echo_sysrq file.
