______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that solves four vulnerabilities, contains one
   feature and has 11 fixes is now available.

Description:



   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 kernel was updated to receive various
   security and bugfixes.

   The following security bugs were fixed:

   - Unprivileged BPF has been disabled by default to reduce attack surface
     as too many security issues have happened in the past (jsc#SLE-22573)

     You can reenable via systemctl setting
   /proc/sys/kernel/unprivileged_bpf_disabled to 0.
   (kernel.unprivileged_bpf_disabled = 0)

   - CVE-2021-0941: In bpf_skb_change_head of filter.c, there is a possible
     out of bounds read due to a use after free. This could lead to local
     escalation of privilege with System execution privileges needed. User
     interaction is not needed for exploitation (bnc#1192045).
   - CVE-2021-31916: An out-of-bounds (OOB) memory write flaw was found in
     list_devices in drivers/md/dm-ioctl.c in the Multi-device driver module
     in the Linux kernel A bound check failure allowed an attacker with
     special user (CAP_SYS_ADMIN) privilege to gain access to out-of-bounds
     memory leading to a system crash or a leak of internal kernel
     information. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system
     availability (bnc#1192781).
   - CVE-2021-20322: Make the ipv4 and ipv6 ICMP exception caches less
     predictive to avoid information leaks about UDP ports in use.
     (bsc#1191790)
   - CVE-2021-34981: Fixed file refcounting in cmtp when cmtp_attach_device
     fails. (bsc#1191961)

   The following non-security bugs were fixed:

   - arm64: pgtable: make __pte_to_phys/__phys_to_pte_val inline functions
     (git-fixes).
