    Description:


    The SLE-11 SP4 kernel was updated to 3.0.101.rt130-68 to receive various
    security and bugfixes.

    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - CVE-2017-5551: The simple_set_acl function in fs/posix_acl.c in the
    Linux kernel preserved the setgid bit during a setxattr call involving a
    tmpfs filesystem, which allowed local users to gain group privileges by
    leveraging the existence of a setgid program with restrictions on
    execute permissions. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an
    incomplete fix for CVE-2016-7097 (bnc#1021258).
    - CVE-2016-7097: posix_acl: Clear SGID bit when setting file permissions
    (bsc#995968).
    - CVE-2016-10088: The sg implementation in the Linux kernel did not
    properly restrict write operations in situations where the KERNEL_DS
    option is set, which allowed local users to read or write to arbitrary
    kernel memory locations or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) by
    leveraging access to a /dev/sg device, related to block/bsg.c and
    drivers/scsi/sg.c. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an
    incomplete fix for CVE-2016-9576 (bnc#1017710).
    - CVE-2016-5696: TCP, when using a large Window Size, made it easier for
    remote attackers to guess sequence numbers and cause a denial of service
    (connection loss) to persistent TCP connections by repeatedly injecting
    a TCP RST packet, especially in protocols that use long-lived
    connections, such as BGP (bnc#989152).
    - CVE-2015-1350: Denial of service in notify_change for filesystem xattrs
    (bsc#914939).
    - CVE-2016-8632: The tipc_msg_build function in net/tipc/msg.c in the
    Linux kernel did not validate the relationship between the minimum
    fragment length and the maximum packet size, which allowed local users
    to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer
    overflow) by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability (bnc#1008831).
    - CVE-2016-8399: An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel
    networking subsystem could have enabled a local malicious application to
    execute arbitrary code within the context of the kernel. This issue is
    rated as Moderate because it first requires compromising a privileged
    process and current compiler optimizations restrict access to the
    vulnerable code. (bnc#1014746).
    - CVE-2016-9793: The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the
    Linux kernel mishandled negative values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf,
    which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory
    corruption and system crash)
    or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the
    CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for a crafted setsockopt system call with the
    (1) SO_SNDBUFFORCE or (2) SO_RCVBUFFORCE option (bnc#1013531).
    - CVE-2012-6704: The sock_setsockopt function in net/core/sock.c in the
    Linux kernel mishandled negative values of sk_sndbuf and sk_rcvbuf,
    which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (memory
    corruption and system crash)
    or possibly have unspecified other impact by leveraging the
    CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for a crafted setsockopt system call with the
    (1) SO_SNDBUF or (2) SO_RCVBUF option (bnc#1013542).
    - CVE-2016-9756: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the Linux kernel did not
    properly initialize Code Segment (CS) in certain error cases, which
    allowed local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack
    memory via a crafted application (bnc#1013038).
    - CVE-2016-9576: splice: introduce FMODE_SPLICE_READ and
    FMODE_SPLICE_WRITE (bsc#1013604)
    - CVE-2016-9794: ALSA: pcm : Call kill_fasync() in stream lock
    (bsc#1013533)
    - CVE-2016-3841: KABI workaround for ipv6: add complete rcu protection
    around np->opt (bsc#992566).
    - CVE-2016-9685: Multiple memory leaks in error paths in
    fs/xfs/xfs_attr_list.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to cause
    a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted XFS filesystem
    operations (bnc#1012832).
    - CVE-2015-8962: Double free vulnerability in the sg_common_write function
    in drivers/scsi/sg.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain
    privileges or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system
    crash) by detaching a device during an SG_IO ioctl call (bnc#1010501).
    - CVE-2016-9555: The sctp_sf_ootb function in net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in
    the Linux kernel lacks chunk-length checking for the first chunk, which
    allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
    slab access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted SCTP
    data (bnc#1011685).
    - CVE-2016-7910: Use-after-free vulnerability in the disk_seqf_stop
    function in block/genhd.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
    gain privileges by leveraging the execution of a certain stop
    operation even if the corresponding start operation had failed
    (bnc#1010716).
    - CVE-2016-7911: Race condition in the get_task_ioprio function in
    block/ioprio.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain
    privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted
    ioprio_get system call (bnc#1010711).
    - CVE-2013-6368: The KVM subsystem in the Linux kernel allowed local users
    to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (system crash) via a
    VAPIC synchronization operation involving a page-end address
    (bnc#853052).
    - CVE-2015-8964: The tty_set_termios_ldisc function in
    drivers/tty/tty_ldisc.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
    obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a tty data
    structure (bnc#1010507).
    - CVE-2016-7916: Revert "proc: prevent accessing /proc//environ until
    it's ready (bsc#1010467)"
    - CVE-2016-8646: The hash_accept function in crypto/algif_hash.c in the
    Linux kernel allowed local users to cause a denial of service (OOPS) by
    attempting to trigger use of in-kernel hash algorithms for a socket that
    has received zero bytes of data (bnc#1010150).
    - CVE-2016-8633: drivers/firewire/net.c in the Linux kernel before 4.8.7,
    in certain unusual hardware configurations, allowed remote attackers to
    execute arbitrary code via crafted fragmented packets (bnc#1008833).
    - CVE-2016-7042: KEYS: Fix short sprintf buffer in /proc/keys show
    function (bsc#1004517).
    - CVE-2015-8956: Bluetooth: Fix potential NULL dereference in RFCOMM bind
