This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.48-52.27.1 fixes the following issues:
- CVE-2016-2384: A malicious USB device could cause a kernel crash in
the alsa usb-audio driver. (bsc#967773)
- CVE-2015-8812: A flaw was found in the CXGB3 kernel driver when
the network was considered congested. The kernel would incorrectly
misinterpret the congestion as an error condition and incorrectly
free/clean up the skb. When the device would then send the skb's queued,
these structures would be referenced and may panic the system or allow
an attacker to escalate privileges in a use-after-free scenario. (bsc#966683)
- CVE-2016-0774: A pipe b
This kernel live patch for Linux Kernel 3.12.48-52.27.1 fixes two security
issues:
Fixes:
- CVE-2016-0728: A reference leak in keyring handling with
join_session_keyring() could lead to local attackers gain root
privileges. (bsc#962078).
- CVE-2013-7446: Use-after-free vulnerability in net/unix/af_unix.c in
the Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass intended AF_UNIX socket
permissions or cause a denial of service (panic) via crafted epoll_ctl
calls. (bsc#955837)
This kernel live patch for Linux Kernel 3.12.48-52.27.1 fixes security issues and bugs:
Security issues fixed:
- CVE-2015-8539: A negatively instantiated user key could have been used
by a local user to leverage privileges (bnc#958601).
- CVE-2015-6937: A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Reliable
Datagram Sockets (RDS) implementation allowing a local user to cause
system DoS. A verification was missing that the underlying transport
exists when a connection was created. (bsc#953052)
- CVE-2015-7990: RDS: Verify the underlying transport exists before
creating a connection, preventing possible DoS (bsc#953052).
- CVE
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to 3.12.48-52.27 to
receive various security and bugfixes.
Following security bugs were fixed:
* CVE-2015-7613: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel IPC code that could
lead to arbitrary code execution. The ipc_addid() function initialized
a shared object that has unset uid/gid values. Since the fields are not
initialized, the check can falsely succeed. (bsc#948536)
* CVE-2015-5156: When a guests KVM network devices is in a bridge
configuration the kernel can create a situation in which packets are
fragmented in an unexpected fashion. The GRO functionality can create
a situation in
