   An update that solves four vulnerabilities and has 5 fixes
   is now available.

Description:



   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP3 LTSS kernel was updated to receive
   various security and bugfixes.

   The following security bugs were fixed:

   - 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 to 17 bytes of the stack. The attack requires the iSCSI target
     to be enabled on the victim host. Depending on how the target's code was
     built (i.e. depending on a compiler, compile flags and hardware
     architecture) an attack may lead to a system crash and thus to a
     denial-of-service or possibly to a non-authorized access to data
     exported by an iSCSI target. Due to the nature of the flaw, privilege
     escalation cannot be fully ruled out, although we believe it is highly
     unlikely. (bnc#1107829).
   - CVE-2018-14617: There is a NULL pointer dereference and panic in
     hfsplus_lookup() in fs/hfsplus/dir.c when opening a file (that is
     purportedly a hard link) in an hfs+ filesystem that has malformed
     catalog data, and is mounted read-only without a metadata directory
     (bnc#1102870).
   - CVE-2018-16276: An issue was discovered in yurex_read in
     drivers/usb/misc/yurex.c where local attackers could use user access
     read/writes with incorrect bounds checking in the yurex USB driver to
     crash the kernel or potentially escalate privileges (bnc#1106095).
   - CVE-2018-12896: An Integer Overflow in kernel/time/posix-timers.c in the
     POSIX timer code is caused by the way the overrun accounting works.
     Depending on interval and expiry time values, the overrun can be larger
     than INT_MAX, but the accounting is int based. This basically made the
     accounting values, which are visible to user space via
     timer_getoverrun(2) and siginfo::si_overrun, random. For example, a
     local user can cause a denial of service (signed integer overflow) via
     crafted mmap, futex, timer_create, and timer_settime system calls
     (bnc#1099922).

   The following non-security bugs were fixed:

   - net: fix neighbours after MAC change (bnc#905299).
   - powerpc: Fix smp_mb__before_spinlock() (bsc#1110247).
   - x86/fpu: Do not do __thread_fpu_end() if use_eager_fpu() (bnc#1109967).
   - x86/fpu: fix signal handling with eager FPU switching (ia32)
     (bsc#1108227).
   - retpoline: Introduce start/end markers of indirect thunk (bsc#1113337).
