Affected Products:
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time Extension 12-SP2

    Description:


    The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 RT kernel was updated to 4.4.88 to
    receive various security and bugfixes.


    The following security bugs were fixed:

    - CVE-2017-1000365: The Linux Kernel imposes a size restriction on the
    arguments and environmental strings passed through
    RLIMIT_STACK/RLIM_INFINITY (1/4 of the size), but did not take the
    argument and environment pointers into account, which allowed attackers
    to bypass this limitation (bnc#1039354)
    - CVE-2017-1000112: Prevent race condition in net-packet code that could
    have been exploited by unprivileged users to gain root access.
    (bnc#1052311)
    - CVE-2017-1000251: The native Bluetooth stack was vulnerable to a stack
    overflow vulnerability in the processing of L2CAP configuration
    responses resulting in remote code execution in kernel space
    (bnc#1057389)
    - CVE-2017-14051: An integer overflow in the
    qla2x00_sysfs_write_optrom_ctl function in
    drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_attr.c allowed local users to cause a denial of
    service (memory corruption and system crash) by leveraging root access
    (bnc#1056588)
    - CVE-2017-8831: The saa7164_bus_get function allowed local users to cause
    a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have
    unspecified
    other impact by changing a certain sequence-number value, aka a "double
    fetch" vulnerability (bnc#1037994)
    - CVE-2017-1000252: Wrong gsi values via KVM_IRQFD allowed unprivileged
    users using KVM to cause DoS on Intel systems (bsc#1058038).

    (bsc#1052365).
    - CVE-2017-10810: Memory leak in the virtio_gpu_object_create function in
    drivers/gpu/drm/virtio/virtgpu_object.c allowed attackers to cause a
    denial of service (memory consumption) by triggering
    object-initialization failures (bnc#1047277).
    - CVE-2017-11472: The acpi_ns_terminate() function did not flush the
    operand cache and causes a kernel stack dump, which allowed local users
    to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory and bypass the KASLR
    protection mechanism via a crafted ACPI table (bnc#1049580).
    - CVE-2017-11473: Buffer overflow in the mp_override_legacy_irq() function
    allowed local users to gain privileges via a crafted ACPI table
    (bnc#1049603).
    - CVE-2017-12134: The xen_biovec_phys_mergeable function might have allow
    local OS guest users to corrupt block device data streams and
    consequently obtain sensitive memory information, cause a denial of
    service, or gain host OS privileges by leveraging incorrect block IO
    merge-ability calculation (bnc#1051790).
    - CVE-2017-12154: L2 guest could have accessed hardware(L0) CR8 register
    and crashed the host system (bsc#1058507).
    - CVE-2017-14106: The tcp_disconnect function allowed local users to cause
    a denial of service (__tcp_select_window divide-by-zero error and system
    crash) by triggering a disconnect within a certain tcp_recvmsg code path
    (bnc#1056982).
    - CVE-2017-7518: Faulty debug exception via syscall emulation allowed
    non-linux guests to escalate their privileges in the guest (bsc#1045922).
    - CVE-2017-7533: Race condition in the fsnotify implementation allowed
    local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (memory
    corruption) via a crafted application that leverages simultaneous
    execution of the inotify_handle_event and vfs_rename functions
    (bsc#1049483).
    - CVE-2017-7541: The brcmf_cfg80211_mgmt_tx function allowed local users
    to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and system crash) or
    possibly gain privileges via a crafted NL80211_CMD_FRAME Netlink packet
    (bsc#1049645).
    - CVE-2017-7542: The ip6_find_1stfragopt function allowed local users to
    cause a denial of service (integer overflow and infinite loop) by
    leveraging the ability to open a raw socket (bsc#1049882).
