certain scenarios with a parent-child process relationship (bsc#1156321).
- CVE-2018-16871: Fixed an issue where an attacker, who could mount an exported NFS filesystem, was able to trigger a
null pointer dereference by using an invalid NFS sequence leading to kernel panic and deny of access to the
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 28 for SLE 12 SP3)
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.180-94_103 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2019-10220: Fixed a relative path escape in the Samba client module (bsc#1144903, bsc#1153108).
- CVE-2019-17133: Fixed a buffer overflow in cfg80211_mgd_wext_giwessid in net/wireless/wext-sme.c caused by long SSID IEs (bsc#1153158).
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 0 for SLE 15 SP1)
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-195 fixes several issues.
The following security issue was fixed:
- CVE-2019-14835: A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way vhost functionality, that translates virtqueue buffers to IOVs, logged the buffer descriptors during migration. A privileged guest user able to pass descriptors with invalid length to the host when migration is underway, could use this flaw to increase their privileges on the host (bsc#1151021).
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 25 for SLE 12 SP3)
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.178-94_91 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2019-11477: Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->tcp_gso_segs value was subject to an integer overflow when handling TCP Selective Acknowledgments (SACKs). A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (bsc#1137586)
- CVE-2019-11478: Jonathan Looney discovered that the TCP retransmission queue implementation in tcp_fragment could be fragmented when handling certain TCP Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) sequences. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (bsc#1137586)

This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-95_6 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2019-3846: A flaw that allowed an attacker to corrupt memory and possibly escalate privileges was found in the mwifiex kernel module while connecting to a malicious wireless network (bsc#1136446).
- 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 furt
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 2 for SLE 12 SP4)
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-95_6 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed:
- 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 (bsc#1128378).
- CVE-2019-8912: af_alg_release() in crypto/af_alg.c neglected to set a NULL value for a certain structure member, which could have led to a use-after-free in sockfs_setattr (bsc#1126284).

The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP4 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2018-9568: In sk_clone_lock of sock.c, there is a possible memory corruption due to type confusion. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. (bnc#1118319).
- CVE-2018-12232: In net/socket.c in the there is a race condition between fchownat and close in cases where they target the same socket file descriptor, related to the sock_close and sockfs_setattr functions. fchownat did not increment the file
