Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 33 for SLE 12 SP1)
This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.74-60_64_110 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)

Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 32 for SLE 12 SP1)
This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.74-60_64_107 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
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 32 for SLE 12 SP1)
This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.74-60_64_107 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-2019-7221: Fixed a user-after-free vulnerability in the KVM hypervisor related to the emulation of a preemption timer, allowing an guest user/process to crash the host kernel. (bsc#1124734).
- CVE-2019-6974: kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c mishan
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 25 for SLE 12 SP2)
This update for the Linux Kernel 4.4.121-92_95 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 could 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 31 for SLE 12 SP1)
This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.74-60_64_104 fixes one issue.
The following security issue was fixed:
- CVE-2018-9568: Prevent possible memory corruption due to type confusion in sk_clone_lock. This could lead to local privilege escalation (bsc#1118319).
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 31 for SLE 12 SP1)
This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.74-60_64_104 fixes one issue.
The following security issue was fixed:
- CVE-2018-18386: The drivers/tty/n_tty.c allowed local attackers (who are able to access pseudo terminals) to hang/block further usage of any pseudo terminal devices due to an EXTPROC versus ICANON confusion in TIOCINQ (bsc#1112039).
Security update for the Linux Kernel (Live Patch 31 for SLE 12 SP1)
This update for the Linux Kernel 3.12.74-60_64_104 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 sm
