An update that solves 6 vulnerabilities and has 10 fixes is
now available.
Description:
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP1 LTSS kernel was updated to receive
various security and bugfixes.
The following security bugs were fixed:
- CVE-2018-3620: Local attackers on baremetal systems could use
speculative code patterns on hyperthreaded processors to read data
present in the L1 Datacache used by other hyperthreads on the same CPU
core, potentially leaking sensitive data. (bnc#1087081).
- CVE-2018-3646: Local attackers in virtualized guest systems could use
speculative code patterns on hyperthreaded processors to read data
present in the L1 Datacache used by other hyperthreads on the same CPU
core, potentially leaking sensitive data, even from other virtual
machines or the host system. (bnc#1089343).
- CVE-2018-14734: drivers/infiniband/core/ucma.c allowed
ucma_leave_multicast to access a certain data structure after a cleanup
step in ucma_process_join, which allowed attackers to cause a denial of
service (use-after-free) (bnc#1103119).
- CVE-2018-13053: The alarm_timer_nsleep function in
kernel/time/alarmtimer.c had via a large relative timeout because
ktime_add_safe is not used (bnc#1099924).
- CVE-2018-13405: The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c allowed
local users to create files with an unintended group ownership, in a
scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and is writable by
a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can
trigger creation of a plain file whose group ownership is that group.
The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger creation of a
directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group.
The non-member can escalate privileges by making the plain file
executable and SGID (bnc#1100416).
- CVE-2018-13406: An integer overflow in the uvesafb_setcmap function in
drivers/video/fbdev/uvesafb.c could result in local attackers being able
to crash the kernel or potentially elevate privileges because
kmalloc_array is not used (bnc#1098016 bnc#1100418).
