______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that solves 11 vulnerabilities and has 49 fixes
   is now available.

Description:

   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 RT kernel was updated to receive various
   security and bugfixes.

   This feature was added:

   - Support for the 2017 Intel Purley platform.

   The following security bugs were fixed:

   - CVE-2016-5195: A local privilege escalation using MAP_PRIVATE was fixed,
     which is reportedly exploited in the wild (bsc#1004418).
   - CVE-2016-0823: The pagemap_open function in fs/proc/task_mmu.c in the
     Linux kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive physical-address
     information by reading a pagemap file, aka Android internal bug 25739721
     (bnc#994759).
   - CVE-2016-3841: The IPv6 stack in the Linux kernel mishandled options
     data, which allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of
     service (use-after-free and system crash) via a crafted sendmsg system
     call (bnc#992566).
   - CVE-2016-6828: Use after free in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue or other tcp_
     functions (bsc#994296)
   - CVE-2016-5696: net/ipv4/tcp_input.c in the Linux kernel did not properly
     determine the rate of challenge ACK segments, which made it easier for
     man-in-the-middle attackers to hijack TCP sessions via a blind in-window
     attack (bnc#989152)
   - CVE-2016-6480: Race condition in the ioctl_send_fib function in
     drivers/scsi/aacraid/commctrl.c in the Linux kernel allowed local users
     to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds access or system crash) by
     changing a certain size value, aka a "double fetch" vulnerability
     (bnc#991608)
   - CVE-2016-4997: The compat IPT_SO_SET_REPLACE and IP6T_SO_SET_REPLACE
     setsockopt implementations in the netfilter subsystem in the Linux
     kernel allowed local users to gain privileges or cause a denial of
     service (memory corruption) by leveraging in-container root access to
     provide a crafted offset value that triggers an unintended decrement
     (bnc#986362).
   - CVE-2015-7513: arch/x86/kvm/x86.c in the Linux kernel did not reset the
     PIT counter values during state restoration, which allowed guest OS
     users to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and host OS
     crash) via a zero value, related to the kvm_vm_ioctl_set_pit and
     kvm_vm_ioctl_set_pit2 functions (bnc#960689).
   - CVE-2013-4312: The Linux kernel allowed local users to bypass
     file-descriptor limits and cause a denial of service (memory
     consumption) by sending each descriptor over a UNIX socket closing it,
     related to net/unix/af_unix.c and net/unix/garbage.c (bnc#839104).
   - CVE-2016-7425: A buffer overflow in the Linux Kernel in
     arcmsr_iop_message_xfer() could have caused kernel heap corruption and
     arbitraty kernel code execution (bsc#999932)
