   An update that solves 13 vulnerabilities and has 31 fixes
   is now available.

Description:

   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 kernel was updated to version 3.12.43 to
   receive various security and bugfixes.

   Following security bugs were fixed:

   - CVE-2014-3647: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.c in the KVM subsystem in the Linux
     kernel through 3.17.2 did not properly perform RIP changes, which
     allowed guest OS users to cause a denial of service (guest OS crash) via
     a crafted application (bsc#899192).
   - CVE-2014-8086: Race condition in the ext4_file_write_iter function in
     fs/ext4/file.c in the Linux kernel through 3.17 allowed local users to
     cause a denial of service (file unavailability) via a combination of a
     write action and an F_SETFL fcntl operation for the O_DIRECT flag
     (bsc#900881).
   - CVE-2014-8159: The InfiniBand (IB) implementation did not properly
     restrict use of User Verbs for registration of memory regions, which
     allowed local users to access arbitrary physical memory locations, and
     consequently cause a denial of service (system crash) or gain
     privileges, by leveraging permissions on a uverbs device under
     /dev/infiniband/ (bsc#914742).
   - CVE-2015-1465: The IPv4 implementation in the Linux kernel before 3.18.8
     did not properly consider the length of the Read-Copy Update (RCU) grace
     period for redirecting lookups in the absence of caching, which allowed
     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or
     system crash) via a flood of packets (bsc#916225).
   - CVE-2015-2041: net/llc/sysctl_net_llc.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19
     used an incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allowed local users
     to obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or
     possibly have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl entry
     (bsc#919007).
   - CVE-2015-2042: net/rds/sysctl.c in the Linux kernel before 3.19 used an
     incorrect data type in a sysctl table, which allowed local users to
     obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel memory or possibly
     have unspecified other impact by accessing a sysctl entry (bsc#919018).
   - CVE-2015-2666: Fixed a flaw that allowed crafted microcode to overflow
     the kernel stack (bsc#922944).
   - CVE-2015-2830: Fixed int80 fork from 64-bit tasks mishandling
     (bsc#926240).
   - CVE-2015-2922: Fixed possible denial of service (DoS) attack against
     IPv6 network stacks due to improper handling of Router Advertisements
     (bsc#922583).
   - CVE-2015-3331: Fixed buffer overruns in RFC4106 implementation using
     AESNI (bsc#927257).
   - CVE-2015-3332: Fixed TCP Fast Open local DoS (bsc#928135).
   - CVE-2015-3339: Fixed race condition flaw between the chown() and
     execve() system calls which could have lead to local privilege
     escalation (bsc#928130).
   - CVE-2015-3636: Fixed use-after-free in ping sockets which could have
     lead to local privilege escalation (bsc#929525).

   - /proc/stat: convert to single_open_size() (bsc#928122).
   - ACPI / sysfs: Treat the count field of counter_show() as unsigned
