These security issues were fixed:
- CVE-2016-4470: The key_reject_and_link function in security/keys/key.c in the Linux kernel did not ensure that a certain data structure is initialized, which allowed local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) via vectors involving a crafted keyctl request2 command (bsc#984764).
- CVE-2016-1583: The ecryptfs_privileged_open function in fs/ecryptfs/kthread.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of service (stack memory consumption) via vectors involving crafted mmap calls for /proc pa
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 kernel was updated to 3.12.57 to receive various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- 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#966437)
