The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2019-3819: A flaw was fixed in the function hid_debug_events_read() in drivers/hid/hid-debug.c file which may have enter an infinite loop with certain parameters passed from a userspace. A local privileged user ('root') could have caused a system lock up and a denial of service (bnc#1123161).
- CVE-2019-15118: Fixed kernel stack exhaustion in check_input_term in sound/usb/mixer.c via mishandled recursion (bnc#1145922).
- CVE-2019-15117: Fixed out-of-bounds memory access in parse_audio_mixer_unit in sou
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP 2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2019-10638: In the Linux kernel, a device could be tracked by an attacker using the IP ID values the kernel produces for connection-less protocols (e.g., UDP and ICMP). When such traffic was sent to multiple destination IP addresses, it was possible to obtain hash collisions (of indices to the counter array) and thereby obtain the hashing key (via enumeration). An attack may be conducted by hosting a crafted web page that uses WebRTC or gQUIC to force UDP traffic to attacker-controlled IP addresses. (
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel version 4.4.121 was updated to receive
various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2019-11477: A sequence of SACKs may have been crafted by a remote
attacker such that one can trigger an integer overflow, leading to a kernel
panic. (bsc#1137586).
- CVE-2019-11478: It was possible to send a crafted sequence of SACKs which
would fragment the TCP retransmission queue. A remote attacker may have been
able to further exploit the fragmented queue to cause an expensive linked-list
walk for subsequent SACKs received for that same TCP connection.
- CVE-2019-11479:
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
Four new speculative execution information leak issues have been identified in Intel CPUs. (bsc#1111331)
- CVE-2018-12126: Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling (MSBDS)
- CVE-2018-12127: Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS)
- CVE-2018-12130: Microarchitectural Load Port Data Samling (MLPDS)
- CVE-2019-11091: Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory (MDSUM)
This kernel update contains software mitigations for these issues, which also utilize CPU microcode updates shipped in parallel.

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2019-2024: A use-after-free when disconnecting a source was fixed which could lead to crashes. bnc#1129179).
- CVE-2019-9213: expand_downwards in mm/mmap.c lacked a check for the mmap minimum address, which made it easier for attackers to exploit kernel NULL pointer dereferences on non-SMAP platforms. This is related to a capability check for the wrong task (bnc#1128166).
- CVE-2018-14633: A security flaw was found in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in the Linux ke
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2018-19985: The function hso_probe read if_num from the USB device (as an u8) and used it without a length check to index an array, resulting in an OOB memory read in hso_probe or hso_get_config_data that could be used by local attackers (bnc#1120743).
- CVE-2018-16884: NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at the same time can make bc_svc_process() use wrong back-channel IDs and cause a use-after-free vulnerability. Thus a malicious container user can cause a host kernel memory corrupti
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 LTSS kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
- CVE-2018-10853: A flaw was found in the way the KVM hypervisor emulated instructions such as sgdt/sidt/fxsave/fxrstor. It did not check current privilege(CPL) level while emulating unprivileged instructions. An unprivileged guest user/process could use this flaw to potentially escalate privileges inside guest (bnc#1097104).
- CVE-2018-10876: A flaw was found in Linux kernel in the ext4 filesystem code. A use-after-free is possible in ext4_ext_remove_space() function when mounting and operating a crafted ext4 image. (bnc#1099811)
