    An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

    Description:


    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 kernel was updated to receive various
    security fixes.

    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - CVE-2017-1000364: The default stack guard page was too small and could
    be "jumped over" by userland programs using more than one page of stack
    in functions and so lead to memory corruption. This update extends the
    stack guard page to 1 MB (for 4k pages) and 16 MB (for 64k pages) to
    reduce this attack vector. This is not a kernel bugfix, but a hardening
    measure against this kind of userland attack.(bsc#1039348)

    - CVE-2015-3288: mm/memory.c in the Linux kernel mishandled anonymous
    pages, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of
    service (page tainting) via a crafted application that triggers writing
    to page zero (bnc#979021).
