______________________________________________________________________________

   An update that solves 6 vulnerabilities, contains one
   feature and has 16 fixes is now available.

Description:



   The SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 SP5 Azure 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).
   - CVE-2021-37159: hso_free_net_device in drivers/net/usb/hso.c in the
     Linux kernel calls unregister_netdev without checking for the
     NETREG_REGISTERED state, leading to a use-after-free and a double free
     (bnc#1188601).
   - CVE-2021-3772: Fixed sctp vtag check in sctp_sf_ootb (bsc#1190351).

   The following non-security bugs were fixed:

   - EDAC/sb_edac: Fix top-of-high-memory value for Broadwell/Haswell
     (bsc#1114648).
   - Revert "ibmvnic: check failover_pending in login response" (bsc#1190523
     ltc#194510).

     (git-fixes).
   - ceph: take snap_empty_lock atomically with snaprealm refcount change
     (bsc#1191888).
   - config.sh: Build cve/linux-4.12 against SLE15-SP1. SLE15 is no longer
     updated and we will need recent update to suse-module-tools to continue
     building the kernel.
