Out-of-bounds write via userland offsets in ebt_entry struct in netfilter/ebtables.c:
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's implementation of 32-bit syscall interface for bridging. This allowed a privileged user to arbitrarily write to a limited range of kernel memory. (CVE-2018-1068)
Affected Packages:
kernel
Issue Correction:
Run yum update kernel to update your system. You will need to reboot your system in order for the new kernel to be running.
