    An update that solves 27 vulnerabilities and has 48 fixes is now available.

    Description:


    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 LTSS kernel was updated to receive
    various security and bugfixes.

    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - CVE-2015-8970: crypto/algif_skcipher.c in the Linux kernel did not
    verify that a setkey operation has been performed on an AF_ALG socket
    before an accept system call is processed, which allowed local users to
    cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash)
    via a crafted application that did not supply a key, related to the
    lrw_crypt function in crypto/lrw.c (bnc#1008374).
    - CVE-2017-5551: Clear S_ISGID on tmpfs when setting posix ACLs
    (bsc#1021258).
    - CVE-2016-7097: The filesystem implementation in the Linux kernel
    preserves the setgid bit during a setxattr call, which allowed local
    users to gain group privileges by leveraging the existence of a setgid
    program with restrictions on execute permissions (bnc#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-2004-0230: 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#969340).
    - 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 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-2016-3841: The IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel mishandled options
    data, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of
    service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system
    call (bnc#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-2015-1350: The VFS subsystem in the Linux kernel provided an
    incomplete set of requirements for setattr operations that
    underspecifies removing extended privilege attributes, which allowed
    local users to cause a denial of service (capability stripping) via a
    failed invocation of a system call, as demonstrated by using chown to
    remove a capability from the ping or Wireshark dumpcap program
    (bnc#914939).
    - 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 lacked 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-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: Race condition in the environ_read function in
    fs/proc/base.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain
    sensitive information from kernel memory by reading a /proc/*/environ
    file during a process-setup time interval in which environment-variable
    copying is incomplete (bnc#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 in certain
    unusual hardware configurations allowed remote attackers to execute
    arbitrary code via crafted fragmented packets (bnc#1008833).
    - CVE-2016-7042: The proc_keys_show function in security/keys/proc.c in
    the Linux, when the GNU Compiler Collection (gcc) stack protector is
    enabled, used an incorrect buffer size for certain timeout data, which
    allowed local users to cause a denial of service (stack memory
    corruption and panic) by reading the /proc/keys file (bnc#1004517).
    - CVE-2015-8956: The rfcomm_sock_bind function in
    net/bluetooth/rfcomm/sock.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to
    obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
    dereference) via vectors involving a bind system call on a Bluetooth
    RFCOMM socket (bnc#1003925).
    - CVE-2016-7117: Use-after-free vulnerability in the __sys_recvmmsg
    function in net/socket.c in the Linux kernel allowed remote attackers to
    execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a recvmmsg system call that
    is mishandled during error processing (bnc#1003077).
    - CVE-2016-0823: The pagemap_open function in fs/proc/task_mmu.c in the
    Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive physical-address
    information by reading a pagemap file (bnc#994759).
    - CVE-2016-7425: The arcmsr_iop_message_xfer function in
    drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c in the Linux kernel did not restrict a
    certain length field, which allowed local users to gain privileges or
    cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) via an
    ARCMSR_MESSAGE_WRITE_WQBUFFER control code (bnc#999932).
    - CVE-2016-6828: The tcp_check_send_head function in include/net/tcp.h in
    the Linux kernel did not properly maintain certain SACK state after a
    failed data copy, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service
    (tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue use-after-free and system crash) via a
    crafted SACK option (bnc#994296).
