Affected Products:
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 LTSS
SLE 11 SERVER Unsupported Extras
______________________________________________________________________________
An update that solves 21 vulnerabilities and has 32 fixes
is now available. It includes one version update.
Description:
The SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2 LTSS kernel received a roll-up
update to fix security and non-security issues.
The following security bugs have been fixed:
*
CVE-2013-4470: The Linux kernel before 3.12, when UDP Fragmentation
Offload (UFO) is enabled, does not properly initialize certain data
structures, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory
corruption and system crash) or possibly gain privileges via a crafted
application that uses the UDP_CORK option in a setsockopt system call and
sends both short and long packets, related to the ip_ufo_append_data
function in net/ipv4/ip_output.c and the ip6_ufo_append_data function in
net/ipv6/ip6_output.c. (bnc#847672)
*
CVE-2013-4579: The ath9k_htc_set_bssid_mask function in
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_drv_main.c in the Linux kernel through
3.12 uses a BSSID masking approach to determine the set of MAC addresses
on which a Wi-Fi device is listening, which allows remote attackers to
discover the original MAC address after spoofing by sending a series of
packets to MAC addresses with certain bit manipulations. (bnc#851426)
*
CVE-2013-6382: Multiple buffer underflows in the XFS implementation
in the Linux kernel through 3.12.1 allow local users to cause a denial of
service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified
other impact by leveraging the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability for a (1)
XFS_IOC_ATTRLIST_BY_HANDLE or (2) XFS_IOC_ATTRLIST_BY_HANDLE_32 ioctl call
with a crafted length value, related to the xfs_attrlist_by_handle
function in fs/xfs/xfs_ioctl.c and the xfs_compat_attrlist_by_handle
function in fs/xfs/xfs_ioctl32.c. (bnc#852553)
*
CVE-2013-6885: The microcode on AMD 16h 00h through 0Fh processors
does not properly handle the interaction between locked instructions and
write-combined memory types, which allows local users to cause a denial of
service (system hang) via a crafted application, aka the errata 793 issue.
(bnc#852967)
*
CVE-2013-7263: The Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates certain length
values before ensuring that associated data structures have been
initialized, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from
kernel stack memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg
system call, related to net/ipv4/ping.c, net/ipv4/raw.c, net/ipv4/udp.c,
net/ipv6/raw.c, and net/ipv6/udp.c. (bnc#857643)
*
CVE-2013-7264: The l2tp_ip_recvmsg function in net/l2tp/l2tp_ip.c in
the Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates a certain length value before
ensuring that an associated data structure has been initialized, which
allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack
memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system call.
(bnc#857643)
*
CVE-2013-7265: The pn_recvmsg function in net/phonet/datagram.c in
the Linux kernel before 3.12.4 updates a certain length value before
ensuring that an associated data structure has been initialized, which
allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel stack
memory via a (1) recvfrom, (2) recvmmsg, or (3) recvmsg system call.
(bnc#857643)
*
CVE-2013-7339: The rds_ib_laddr_check function in net/rds/ib.c in
the Linux kernel before 3.12.8 allows local users to cause a denial of
service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have
unspecified other impact via a bind system call for an RDS socket on a
system that lacks RDS transports. (bnc#869563)
*
CVE-2014-0069: The cifs_iovec_write function in fs/cifs/file.c in
the Linux kernel through 3.13.5 does not properly handle uncached write
operations that copy fewer than the requested number of bytes, which
allows local users to obtain sensitive information from kernel memory,
cause a denial of service (memory corruption and system crash), or
possibly gain privileges via a writev system call with a crafted pointer.
(bnc#864025)
*
CVE-2014-0101: The sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce function in
net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c in the Linux kernel through 3.13.6 does not
validate certain auth_enable and auth_capable fields before making an
sctp_sf_authenticate call, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) via an SCTP
handshake with a modified INIT chunk and a crafted AUTH chunk before a
COOKIE_ECHO chunk. (bnc#866102)
*
CVE-2014-0196: The n_tty_write function in drivers/tty/n_tty.c in
the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly manage tty driver access
in the "LECHO & !OPOST" case, which allows local users to cause a denial
of service (memory corruption and system crash) or gain privileges by
triggering a race condition involving read and write operations with long
strings. (bnc#875690)
*
CVE-2014-1444: The fst_get_iface function in
drivers/net/wan/farsync.c in the Linux kernel before 3.11.7 does not
properly initialize a certain data structure, which allows local users to
obtain sensitive information from kernel memory by leveraging the
CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an SIOCWANDEV ioctl call. (bnc#858869)
*
CVE-2014-1445: The wanxl_ioctl function in drivers/net/wan/wanxl.c
in the Linux kernel before 3.11.7 does not properly initialize a certain
data structure, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information
from kernel memory via an ioctl call. (bnc#858870)
*
CVE-2014-1446: The yam_ioctl function in drivers/net/hamradio/yam.c
in the Linux kernel before 3.12.8 does not initialize a certain structure
member, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information from
kernel memory by leveraging the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability for an
SIOCYAMGCFG ioctl call. (bnc#858872)
*
CVE-2014-1737: The raw_cmd_copyin function in drivers/block/floppy.c
in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not properly handle error
conditions during processing of an FDRAWCMD ioctl call, which allows local
users to trigger kfree operations and gain privileges by leveraging write
access to a /dev/fd device. (bnc#875798)
*
CVE-2014-1738: The raw_cmd_copyout function in
drivers/block/floppy.c in the Linux kernel through 3.14.3 does not
properly restrict access to certain pointers during processing of an
FDRAWCMD ioctl call, which allows local users to obtain sensitive
information from kernel heap memory by leveraging write access to a
/dev/fd device. (bnc#875798)
*
CVE-2014-1874: The security_context_to_sid_core function in
security/selinux/ss/services.c in the Linux kernel before 3.13.4 allows
local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) by leveraging the
CAP_MAC_ADMIN capability to set a zero-length security context.
(bnc#863335)
*
CVE-2014-2039: arch/s390/kernel/head64.S in the Linux kernel before
3.13.5 on the s390 platform does not properly handle attempted use of the
linkage stack, which allows local users to cause a denial of service
(system crash) by executing a crafted instruction. (bnc#865307)
*
CVE-2014-2523: net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto_dccp.c in the Linux
kernel through 3.13.6 uses a DCCP header pointer incorrectly, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system crash)
or possibly execute arbitrary code via a DCCP packet that triggers a
call to the (1) dccp_new, (2) dccp_packet, or (3) dccp_error function.
(bnc#868653)
*
CVE-2014-2678: The rds_iw_laddr_check function in net/rds/iw.c in
the Linux kernel through 3.14 allows local users to cause a denial of
service (NULL pointer dereference and system crash) or possibly have
unspecified other impact via a bind system call for an RDS socket on a
system that lacks RDS transports. (bnc#871561)
*
CVE-2014-3122: The try_to_unmap_cluster function in mm/rmap.c in the
Linux kernel before 3.14.3 does not properly consider which pages must be
locked, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system
crash) by triggering a memory-usage pattern that requires removal of
page-table mappings. (bnc#876102)
