Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 8 for SLE 12 SP2)
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.59-92_20 fixes one issue.
The following security issue was fixed:
- CVE-2017-18075: crypto/pcrypt.c in the Linux kernel mishandled freeing instances, allowing a local user able to access the AF_ALG-based AEAD interface (CONFIG_CRYPTO_USER_API_AEAD) and pcrypt (CONFIG_CRYPTO_PCRYPT) to cause a denial of service (kfree of an incorrect pointer) or possibly have unspecified other impact by executing a crafted sequence of system calls (bsc#1077404).

This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.59-92_20 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2017-17712: The raw_sendmsg() function had a race condition that lead to uninitialized stack pointer usage. This allowed a local user to execute code and gain privileges (bsc#1073230).
- CVE-2017-16939: The XFRM dump policy implementation allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted SO_RCVBUF setsockopt system call in conjunction with XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY Netlink messages (bsc#1069708).

The following security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2017-1000405: Problematic use of pmd_mkdirty() in the touch_pmd() function allowed users to overwrite read-only huge pages (e.g. the zero huge page and sealed shmem files) (bsc#1070307).
- CVE-2017-16939: The XFRM dump policy implementation in net/xfrm/xfrm_user.c kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (use-after-free) via a crafted SO_RCVBUF setsockopt system call in conjunction with XFRM_MSG_GETPOLICY Netlink messages (bsc#1069708).
- CVE-2017-10661: Race condition in fs/timerfd.c allowed

This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.59-92_20 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2017-15649: net/packet/af_packet.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges via crafted system calls that trigger mishandling of packet_fanout data structures, because of a race condition (involving fanout_add and packet_do_bind) that leads to a use-after-free, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-6346 (bsc#1064392)
- CVE-2017-13080: Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) allowed reinstallation of the Group Temporal Key (GTK) during the group key handshake, allowing an attacker within radio range to replay

The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2017-1000251: The native Bluetooth stack in the Linux Kernel (BlueZ) was vulnerable to a stack overflow vulnerability in the processing of L2CAP configuration responses resulting in Remote code execution in kernel space (bsc#1057950).
- CVE-2017-12762: In drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_net.c a user-controlled buffer was copied into a local buffer of constant size using strcpy without a length check which can cause a buffer overflow (bsc#1053150).

The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2017-1000112: Prevent a race condition in net-packet code that could have been exploited by unprivileged users to gain root access (bsc#1052368).

This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.59-92_20 fixes several issues.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2017-7533: A bug in inotify code allowed local users to escalate privilege (bsc#1050751).
- CVE-2017-8797: The NFSv4 server in the Linux kernel did not properly validate the layout type when processing the NFSv4 pNFS GETDEVICEINFO or LAYOUTGET operand in a UDP packet from a remote attacker. This type value is uninitialized upon encountering certain error conditions. This value is used as an array index for dereferencing, which leads to an OOPS and eventually a DoS of knfsd and a soft-lockup of the whole system (bsc#1046202)

This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.59-92_20 fixes several issues.
The following bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2017-1000364: The previous fix for the stack gap increase tracked by CVE-2017-1000364 had a regression, which is fixed by this follow up patch. (bsc#1039496)
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP2 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
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)
The following non-security bugs were fixed:
- There was a load failure in the sha-mb e
