An update for gcc is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Low. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link (s) in the References section.

The gcc packages provide compilers for C, C++, Java, Fortran, Objective C, and Ada 95 GNU, as well as related support libraries.

Security Fix(es) :

* gcc: GCC generates incorrect code for RDRAND/RDSEED intrinsics (CVE-2017-11671)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Additional Changes :

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 Release Notes linked from the References section.

According to the versions of the gcc packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The gcc package contains the GNU Compiler Collection     version 4.8.You'll need this package in order to     compile C code.

  - Security fix(es):

  - Under certain circumstances, the ix86_expand_builtin     function in i386.c in GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)     version 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 4.9, 5 before 5.5, and 6 before     6.4 will generate instruction sequences that clobber     the status flag of the RDRAND and RDSEED intrinsics     before it can be read, potentially causing failures of     these instructions to go unreported. This could     potentially lead to less randomness in random number     generation.(CVE-2017-11671)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
