CVE-2016-5195 mitigation kernel

  • 1.  CVE-2016-5195 mitigation kernel

    Posted Oct 26, 2016 10:51 AM

    Kernel 2.6.32-642.6.2 has been released for CentOS 6 / RHEL 6 to mitigate CVE-2016-5195.  I need to get that kernel installed onto our servers for obvious security reasons, but when I build the SEP module against it, attempts to install it give the following:

    Starting AP: insmod: error inserting '/opt/Symantec/autoprotect/symev-custom-2.6.32-642.6.2.el6-x86_64.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
    symev: unable to load kernel support module (UNSUPPORTED-OS-rh-UNK-UNK-2.6.32-642.6.2.el6-x86_64)
    kernel drivers are not loaded.

    I am running SEP 12.1.6 MP6.

    As this is a highly critical CVE, time is of the essence here.  How can I get build a module for this kernel?

    Please delete this - I had the wrong kernel headers loaded.  Sorry.

    Are you loading the correct kernel headers to build this?
