Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 10 for SLE 15)
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-150_17 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)
- CVE
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 6 for SLE 15)
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-25_22 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 fur
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 2 for SLE 15)
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-25_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).
- CVE-2019-7221: Fixed a user-after-free vulnerability in the KVM hypervisor relate
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 0 for SLE 15)
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-23 fixes one issue.
The following security issue was fixed:
- CVE-2018-16884: A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NFS41+ subsystem. NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at the same time could 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 corruption and a system panic. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out (bsc#1119947).
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 0 for SLE 15)
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-23 fixes several issues.
The following security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2018-17182: The vmacache_flush_all function in mm/vmacache.c mishandled sequence number overflows. An attacker can trigger a use-after-free (and possibly gain privileges) via certain thread creation, map, unmap, invalidation, and dereference operations (bsc#1110233).
- CVE-2018-14633: A security flaw was found in the chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in a way an authentication request from an ISCSI initiator is processed. An unauthenticated remote attacker can cause a stack buffer overflow and smash up
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 4 for SLE 15)
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.12.14-25_16 fixes one issue.
The following security issue was fixed:
- CVE-2018-10938: It was found that a crafted network packet sent remotely by an attacker may force the kernel to enter an infinite loop in the cipso_v4_optptr() function in net/ipv4/cipso_ipv4.c leading to a denial-of-service. A certain non-default configuration of LSM (Linux Security Module) and NetLabel should be set up on a system an attacker could leverage this flaw (bsc#1106191).
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 kernel was updated to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2018-15572: The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c did not always fill RSB upon a context switch, which made it easier for attackers to conduct userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks (bnc#1102517 bnc#1105296).
- CVE-2018-10902: It was found that the raw midi kernel driver did not protect against concurrent access which leads to a double realloc (double free) in snd_rawmidi_input_params() and snd_rawmidi_output_status() which are part of snd_rawmidi_ioctl() handler in rawmi
