   An update that solves 33 vulnerabilities and has 13 fixes
   is now available.

Description:



   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 LTSS kernel was updated to receive
   various security and bugfixes.

   Four new speculative execution information leak issues have been
   identified in Intel CPUs. (bsc#1111331)

   - CVE-2018-12126: Microarchitectural Store Buffer Data Sampling (MSBDS)
   - CVE-2018-12127: Microarchitectural Fill Buffer Data Sampling (MFBDS)
   - CVE-2018-12130: Microarchitectural Load Port Data Samling (MLPDS)
   - CVE-2019-11091: Microarchitectural Data Sampling Uncacheable Memory
     (MDSUM)

   This kernel update contains software mitigations for these issues, which
   also utilize CPU microcode updates shipped in parallel.

   For more information on this set of information leaks, check out
   https://www.suse.com/support/kb/doc/?id=7023736

   The following security bugs were fixed:

   - CVE-2016-10741: fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c allowed local users to cause a denial
     of service (system crash) because there is a race condition between
     direct and memory-mapped I/O (associated with a hole) that is handled
     with BUG_ON instead of an I/O failure (bnc#1114920 bnc#1124010).
   - CVE-2017-1000407: By flooding the diagnostic port 0x80 an exception can
     be triggered leading to a kernel panic (bnc#1071021).
   - CVE-2017-16533: The usbhid_parse function in
     drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c allowed local users to cause a denial of
     service (out-of-bounds read and system crash) or possibly have
     unspecified other impact via a crafted USB device (bnc#1066674).
   - CVE-2017-7273: The cp_report_fixup function in drivers/hid/hid-cypress.c
     allowed physically proximate attackers to cause a denial of service
     (integer underflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a
     crafted HID report (bnc#1031240).
   - CVE-2017-7472: The KEYS subsystem allowed local users to cause a denial
     of service (memory consumption) via a series of
     KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_THREAD_KEYRING keyctl_set_reqkey_keyring calls
     (bnc#1034862).
   - CVE-2018-14633: A security flaw was found in the
     chap_server_compute_md5() function in the ISCSI target code in the Linux
     kernel 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. (bnc#1107829).
   - CVE-2018-15572: The spectre_v2_select_mitigation function in
     arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c did not always fill RSB upon a context
     switch, which made it easier for attackers to conduct
     userspace-userspace spectreRSB attacks (bnc#1102517 bnc#1105296).
   - CVE-2018-16884: NFS41+ shares mounted in different network namespaces at
     the same time can make bc_svc_process() use wrong back-channel IDs and
     cause a use-after-free vulnerability. Thus a malicious container user
     can cause a host kernel memory corruption and a system panic. Due to the
     nature of the flaw, privilege escalation cannot be fully ruled out
     (bnc#1119946).
   - CVE-2018-18281: The mremap() syscall performed TLB flushes after
     dropping pagetable locks. If a syscall such as ftruncate() removes
     entries from the pagetables of a task that is in the middle of mremap(),
     a stale TLB entry can remain for a short time that permits access to a
     physical page after it has been released back to the page allocator and
     reused. (bnc#1113769).
   - CVE-2018-18386: 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 (bnc#1094825).
   - CVE-2018-18690: A local attacker able to set attributes on an xfs
     filesystem could make this filesystem non-operational until the next
     mount by triggering an unchecked error condition during an xfs attribute
     change, because xfs_attr_shortform_addname in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_attr.c
     mishandled ATTR_REPLACE operations with conversion of an attr from short
     to long form (bnc#1105025).
   - CVE-2018-18710: An information leak in cdrom_ioctl_select_disc in
     drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c could be used by local attackers to read kernel
     memory because a cast from unsigned long to int interferes with bounds
     checking. This is similar to CVE-2018-10940 and CVE-2018-16658
     (bnc#1113751).
   - CVE-2018-19407: The vcpu_scan_ioapic function in arch/x86/kvm/x86.c
     allowed local users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer
     dereference and BUG) via crafted system calls that reach a situation
     where ioapic is uninitialized (bnc#1116841).
   - CVE-2018-19824: A local user could exploit a use-after-free in the ALSA
     driver by supplying a malicious USB Sound device (with zero interfaces)
     that is mishandled in usb_audio_probe in sound/usb/card.c (bnc#1118152).
   - CVE-2018-19985: The function hso_get_config_data in
     drivers/net/usb/hso.c read if_num from the USB device (as a u8) and uses
     it to index a small array, resulting in an object out-of-bounds (OOB)
     read that potentially allowed arbitrary read in the kernel address space
     (bnc#1120743).
   - CVE-2018-20169: The USB subsystem mishandled size checks during the
     reading of an extra descriptor, related to __usb_get_extra_descriptor in
     drivers/usb/core/usb.c (bnc#1119714).
   - CVE-2018-5391: The Linux kernel was vulnerable to a denial of service
     attack with low rates of specially modified packets targeting IP
     fragment re-assembly. An attacker may cause a denial of service
     condition by sending specially crafted IP fragments. Various
     vulnerabilities in IP fragmentation have been discovered and fixed over
     the years. The current vulnerability (CVE-2018-5391) became exploitable
     in the Linux kernel with the increase of the IP fragment reassembly
     queue size (bnc#1103097).
   - CVE-2018-9516: In hid_debug_events_read of drivers/hid/hid-debug.c,
     there is a possible out of bounds write due to a missing bounds check.
     This could lead to local escalation of privilege with System execution
     privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
     (bnc#1108498).
   - CVE-2018-9568: In sk_clone_lock of sock.c, there is a possible memory
     corruption due to type confusion. This could lead to local escalation of
     privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User
     interaction is not needed for exploitation. (bnc#1118319).
   - CVE-2019-11486: The Siemens R3964 line discipline driver in
     drivers/tty/n_r3964.c had multiple race conditions (bnc#1133188). The
     line discipline was disabled.
   - CVE-2019-3459: A heap address information leak while using
     L2CAP_GET_CONF_OPT was discovered (bnc#1120758).
   - CVE-2019-3460: A heap data infoleak in multiple locations including
     L2CAP_PARSE_CONF_RSP was found (bnc#1120758).
   - CVE-2019-3882: A flaw was found vfio interface implementation that
     permitted violation of the user's locked memory limit. If a device is
     bound to a vfio driver, such as vfio-pci, and the local attacker is
     administratively granted ownership of the device, it may cause a system
     memory exhaustion and thus a denial of service (DoS). (bnc#1131416
     bnc#1131427).
   - CVE-2019-6974: kvm_ioctl_create_device in virt/kvm/kvm_main.c mishandled
     reference counting because of a race condition, leading to a
     use-after-free (bnc#1124728).
   - CVE-2019-7221: The KVM implementation had a Use-after-Free (bnc#1124732).
   - CVE-2019-7222: The KVM implementation had an Information Leak
     (bnc#1124735).
   - 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 (bnc#1128166).
   - CVE-2019-9503: Multiple brcmfmac frame validation bypasses have been
     fixed (bnc#1132828).

   The following non-security bugs were fixed:

   - cifs: Check for timeout on Negotiate stage (bsc#1091171 bsc#1126890).
