______________________________________________________________________________
An update that solves 11 vulnerabilities and has 20 fixes
is now available.
Description:
The SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP4 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-2019-9213: The expand_downwards function 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-2013-0216: The Xen netback functionality allowed guest OS users to
cause a denial of service (loop) by triggering ring pointer corruption
(bnc#800280).
- CVE-2013-0231: The pciback_enable_msi function in the PCI backend driver
(drivers/xen/pciback/conf_space_capability_msi.c) in Xen allowed guest
OS users with PCI device access to cause a denial of service via a large
number of kernel log messages. (bnc#801178).
- CVE-2012-3430: The rds_recvmsg function in net/rds/recv.c did not
initialize a certain structure member, which allowed local users to
obtain potentially sensitive information from kernel stack memory via a
recvfrom or recvmsg system call on an RDS socket (bnc#773383).
- CVE-2012-3412: The sfc (aka Solarflare Solarstorm) driver allowed remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (DMA descriptor consumption and
network-controller outage) via crafted TCP packets that trigger a small
MSS value (bnc#774523).
- CVE-2013-0160: The kernel allowed local users to obtain sensitive
information about keystroke timing by using the inotify API on the
/dev/ptmx device (bnc#797175).
- CVE-2013-1979: The scm_set_cred function in include/net/scm.h uses
incorrect uid and gid values during credentials passing, which allowed
local users to gain privileges via a crafted application (bnc#816708).
